"It is just a matter of weeks now for Stephane," said Gerard Houllier.
"He should be back with us properly next week and after that it is just a matter of time before he can challenge for a first team place.
"It's good at the moment that we don't have many injury problems.
"Apart from Stephane and Abel Xavier, everyone is available to play and that's a nice situation to be in at this stage of the season."
