Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel will have recovered from his groin strain in time for Liverpool's Champions League qualifying tie starting next week.
The Reds face Standard Liege in the first of two legs on Wednesday, August 13 in Belgium, as they look to continue their love affair with the Europe's premier club competition.
Skrtel injured his groin in the 4-0 win at Ibrox over Scottish Premier League and UEFA Cup runners up, Rangers.
The Slovakian stopper has become a favourite with Kopites since joining the club from Zenit St Petersburg in January for £6.5 million, a club record fee for a defender.
Having been left at home as the Reds travel to Norway for this evening's friendly against Valerenga, there were fears he may miss the start of Liverpool's competitive season,
However, though he will also miss Friday's home friendly against Lazio, it is widely expected he will be fit to face Liege a week tomorrow.
