Roy Hodgson has confirmed that he expects to see midfielder Joe Cole back in action when Liverpool take on Tottenham.
The former Chelsea player joined the Reds on a free transfer during the summer, and made seven appearances in the Premier League before succumbing to a hamstring injury.
And after being sidelined for the club's last five games, the 29-year-old is in line to return to play against a team managed by his former boss Harry Redknapp.
"Joe should be back for Sunday," Hodgson told the club's official website. "We were hoping he would be back to face West Ham, but it has taken that little bit longer.
"Joe is not that far away really, so hopefully he will have recovered in time for Tottenham.
"Hamstring injuries are tricky and I'm afraid we can only rely on what the Sports Science people tell us, and if they say he needs more time we just have to wait."
