Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says they won't rush back Stefan Bajcetic.
However, Klopp admits the midfielder is in his plans this season.
He said, "His quality, potential and talent - everyone can see. But everyone has a different body and we just had to put the brakes on him. There is no timeframe we can put on his return and we absolutely won't.
"He's here training and working but we have to help him get the body and we know he has the quality."
"With Thiago, it's an ongoing thing. We aren't putting pressure on him but we expect him back in the New Year. We can't wait to have him back, he's an exceptional player."
