Ireland midfielder James McCarthy is set to return to training at the end of September as he continues his rehabilitation from a broken leg.
The Everton man has been sidelined since January when he sustained an horrendous double compound fracture of his lower right leg in a challenge with striker Salomon Rondon during a match against West Brom at Goodison Park.
McCarthy has been on the comeback trail since undergoing an operation a few days later but will be gradually integrated into the team set-up later this month.
"He is progressing well," manager Marco Silva told the Liverpool Echo.
"We expect in the next weeks to start, slow-by-slow and step-by-step, working with the team."
