Rangers could welcome Borna Barisic back into the side this weekend.
Rangers take on Livingston in the Scottish Premiership this weekend, and Steven Gerrard will be looking for a strong return from the international break.
The Gers went into the break off the back of a huge win over Motherwell at Ibrox, hammering them 7-1 as Scott Arfield and Eros Grezda both scored twice in a thumping win.
Gerrard needed that win after some unconvincing displays against Aberdeen, Kilmarnock, St Mirren and Spartak Moscow, and he will hope that his side build on that 7-1 win against Livi.
Gerrard will also hope that the two weeks off has given some of his players a chance to rest and recuperate, with left back Borna Barisic one of the particular concerns.
The Croatian left back has been missing for almost two months, with his last appearance coming in the 1-0 away defeat at Livingston – and could ironically make his return against the same side.
Gerrard suggested on Wednesday that Barisic could be available to play, and Rangers have now posted photos on Twitter of the 26-year-old back in training today, adding weight to the idea that he may feature this weekend.
Andy Halliday and Jon Flanagan have filled in for Barisic, but having a natural left-footed left back who can go forward and whip in real quality for Alfredo Morelos is a huge boost – and just what Gerrard needed after some uncertainty in that position.
