Milner has not trained with the Liverpool squad since he suffered the injury in Liverpool's 0-0 draw with Manchester City.

David Maddock of the Mirror reports that the English midfielder is set to return to training on Thursday, and if he does, he will be fit enough for Saturday's trip.

Milner was a first-half substitute against City, and was forced to go for a scan immediately after.

The initial impression was that the 32-year-old would be out for a month, but he has since responded well to treatment and looks set to be in Saturday's squad.

Duo Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah are set to be assessed ahead of the Huddersfield clash, following injuries sustained on international duty.
