Adam Lallana could make his Liverpool return in next month’s trip to Watford.
Lallana has missed the Reds’ previous three games since picking up a thigh problem during England’s World Cup qualifying win over Lithuania in March.
The midfielder and team mate for club and country Jordan Henderson are both sidelined and recently visited Miami for treatment on their respective injuries.
And Jurgen Klopp fully expects Lallana to be in contention for first-team action again to feature in the encounter at Vicarage Road on May 1.
He said: “[They are] better, but not good enough for the weekend.
“With Jordan, it was clear from the beginning that it’s not a fixed time until he is back. We have to wait until he feels absolutely nothing, that’s how it is.
“That’s what we are still waiting for. In all of what he is doing at the moment, he feels nothing, but we have to make steps still, steps to go [so] that he can be part of team training.
“With Adam, it is a little bit easier to say.
“I am pretty sure after the Crystal Palace game, he will probably be in normal training and that means then [for Watford] he is in the squad or we can think about him then.
“For the Watford game again, with Jordan it could be next week in training, could be the week after, but I think we are in a good way with him also.
“Everything will be good and I am pretty sure he will have a few games in this season.”
