Liverpool defender Rhys Williams should recover from injury in time to play against Leicester City this weekend, the Daily Mail report.
Williams pulled out of international duty, with the Liverpool youngster suffering with a sore hip.
However, the problem is not expected to keep him out for long, and he could even be back in time to play some part against Leicester.
The teenager, who was recently hailed as ‘amazing’ by Trent Alexander-Arnold (official website), is expected to start among the substitutes in that game, as Jurgen Klopp looks to him to provide defensive cover.
Williams has looked at home in Liverpool’s defence in the Champions League, but he is yet to be trusted to make his league debut.
Nathaniel Phillips has been favoured to him in Premier League matches so far and that is expected to continue on Sunday.
The news that he will be fit can only be considered positive for Liverpool, though, as they are done to the bare bones at the back and without Williams they really would have lacked any defensive cover on the bench.
