Paul Pogba says he is "almost there" with his comeback from injury, though he remains a doubt for Manchester United's clash with rivals Liverpool.
An ankle injury ruled Pogba out of the Premier League loss to Newcastle United and prevented him linking up with France for international duty.
World Cup-winning coach Didier Deschamps indicated Pogba would be out for three weeks, which left him a major doubt for the visit of Liverpool to Old Trafford on October 20.
United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also admitted that the midfielder would be racing against the clock to make it back in time for the clash.
