Curtis Jones has returned to training ahead of Liverpool's Premier League fixture against Newcastle at Anfield on Wednesday evening.
The England youth international, 21, hasn't played for the Reds since suffering a calf injury in their Community Shield victory against Manchester City at the end of July. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is missing a number of central midfielders at the moment, including Thiago Alcantara, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita.
Jones' return to fitness comes after Klopp and Reds owner John Henry agreed on signing a new central midfielder. That player is not expected to arrive before Thursday's transfer deadline, although club chiefs will continue to stay alert in case an opportunity arises.
