Liverpool crock Adam Lallana is targeting a September playing return.
The Daily Mail says the England international suffered knee ligament damage during Liverpool's tour of the United States three weeks ago but he has been given the green light to start running again at the club's Melwood training base.
Lallana was initially ruled out for six weeks but he has been working hard cut the time he is on the sidelines. If, for instance, he was fit to be included in Liverpool's trip to Tottenham on August 31, he may yet be fit enough to figure in Roy Hodgson's plans for the games with Norway and Switzerland.
Liverpool, however, will not rush him and it seems most likely that he will be available for the game against Aston Villa on September 13.
