Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson is prepared to hand Albert Riera a clean slate.
The Liverpool Daily Post says Hodgson has pledged to give every player the opportunity to prove they have a future at the club.
The controversial winger was thought to be surplus to requirements after a spectacular fall-out with former manager Rafa Benitez last season.
Frustrated by a lack of first team opportunities, the Spain international criticised Benitez's management style and labelled the club a 'sinking ship'.
A minor knee injury prevented Riera from reporting back for the start of pre-season training last week.
Instead he was given Thursday and Friday off by the club and is expected at Melwood today where he will meet manager Hodgson.
