"I'm back in training and hopefully I will stay fit," he told the club's website. "I'm back in training and I feel good. Of course, if I'm needed, I will be there.
"Injuries [happen] to a player. Now I'm back, I hope I stay fit and I can focus on the positives."
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson also returned to training this week for the first time since being forced off in the 39th minute of the 4-1 win over Norwich at Anfield on the opening day of the season.
