Liverpool expect Naby Keita to recover from an adductor strain in time for the new Premier League campaign.
The European champions have confirmed midfielder Keita is on course to begin pre-season training towards the end of July.
That timeline should give the 24-year-old adequate opportunity to build his fitness ahead of the Community Shield encounter against Manchester City on August 4, five days ahead of the club's Premier League opener at home to Norwich City.
Keita aggravated his existing adductor issue in Guinea's loss to Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations.
