The Reds skipper has been stuck on the sidelines since July but is now back to training.
Jordan Henderson might be fit for the first Premier League game of the season according to Jurgen Klopp.
The captain missed out on the final stages of the title-winning campaign in 2019-20 due to a knee problem but the midfielder was still able to lift the trophy.
The midfielder has been training with the squad this week but was still not ready to feature in their friendly game against Blackpool on Saturday.
Klopp seems to be optimistic about the captain returning to action in their first Premier League clash against newly-promoted Leeds on September 12th.
“Obviously Hendo was desperate to play a few minutes today as well, but it makes no real sense because he had to do an important session today for him,” Klopp told Liverpool’s official website.
“If he would have played today, 10 minutes or so would have probably been OK. But that makes no sense. So that was not possible, but he trained in big parts of this week and will probably join full team training next Tuesday.
“Timing-wise, not perfect that he cannot play today, but can train a few days later fully. But that’s how it is.
“We will see how he develops, [there are] a few days until Leeds, how the boys come back from the national teams. A lot of open questions still, but a few hopefully we can answer today.”
