Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar will only return to action after his club's Champions League quarter-final clashes with Liverpool, in a boost to the Reds' chances of progression.
The 27-year-old Cameroon international scored 26 goals in all competitions last season, but was struck down with a cruciate ligament injury in autumn of last year, after four goals in six league games at the start of 2018/19.
A report from Portuguese source O Jogo (via SportWitness) claims that Aboubakar is closing in on a return and has even started to train again with the first team, but is unlikely to return in the next couple of weeks.
