Liverpool winger Kaide Gordon is now on the training pitch.
The teen has been suffering with a pelvic injury since last season.
"Kaide is closer to getting back and his rehabilitation will now be on the grass, which is always a good sign for any player," says Liverpool Academy manager Inglethorpe to the Liverpool Echo.
"Mentally it's a big step when they know they can go back on the field and out of the gym. The injury has been hugely disappointing for him. I've been very impressed with his attitude since being ruled out.
"I've caught up with him a couple of times and it has been really nice to get to know him a bit better on a personal level. There is undoubted talent there and it has been a long way back, but I'm sure he'll remind everyone how good he is."
