Kostas Tsimikas is expected to return to Liverpool training next week, according to David Lynch for This Is Anfield.
The Reds’ new signing has become something of a forgotten man of late, having been missing with a thigh problem.
Tsimikas made his Liverpool debut in the 7-2 win over Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup last month, prior to picking up the issue.
It has left Jurgen Klopp with only one recognised left-back in Andy Robertson, but that is about to change.
Lynch claims that Tsimikas will be back in training next week, potentially putting him in contention for the Premier League visit of West Ham a week on Saturday.

Having Tsimikas available is hugely important for Liverpool, both in terms of having two quality left-backs and also easing Andy Robertson’s workload.
The Scot has made an excellent start to the season, but matches will come thick and fast and Klopp will need to rotate him, especially given the relentless nature of his role.
Tsimikas may take some time to settle, as has been the case with so many new signings under Klopp, from Robertson himself to Fabinho, but he looks a more than able deputy to Robertson.
