The Dane hasn't played for the Reds for seven weeks after breaking a metatarsal but he could feature in Liverpool's next game, away against Newcastle on November 24th.

"We don't have a definite date in mind for Daniel just yet but it is looking very positive for him at the moment," said Rafael Benitez.

"If he continues to progress the way he has been then maybe he will be back in one or two weeks.

"The thing we have to keep an eye on is that the player can be fit, but that is not necessarily the same thing as being ready for a match.

"If he can run this week without any problems then maybe he can be involved in games soon."
