Liverpool youngster Joe Gomez is set to miss another month as he continues his return from injury, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The centre-back was a big hit at Anfield in the early parts of last season after a move from Charlton Athletic.
He has now been missing for nearly a year, though, after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament with the England U-21s.

He had initially been pencilled in for a return in the summer but suffered another major setback when he was diagnosed with tendinopathy in his Achilles.
That has seen him miss the start of the start of this season, with no definite date having been set for a return.

However, the Liverpool Echo now reports that the club’s medical staff are hoping he can return to training in mid to late October.
They say that his original knee injury is now resolved and the focus is now on ensuring his Achilles injury fixed also.
According to the newspaper, the Reds are keen to get him back into the first team fold, with manager Jurgen Klopp a big fan and said to be looking forward to working with him.
