Liverpool aren't expected to see Adam Lallana for another month.
The midfielder hasn't featured at all this season for either club or country after rupturing a thigh tendon over the summer.
But he is set to give his Reds boss Jurgen Klopp a boost by being available again from mid-November.
Lallana hopes to make his return to action for Liverpool before the end of next month.
And he will then stake his claim to be a part of Gareth Southgate's squad for the March internationals and, ultimately, the World Cup in Russia next summer.
