Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Roberto Firmino is still working back to full fitness.
Klopp has confirmed Firmino will miss Liverpool's Champions League second leg with Villarreal on Tuesday.
But the Reds boss says the Brazilian will fly with the team to Spain, hinting that he could return for the weekend's game with Tottenham at Anfield.
Firmino has not played since featuring as a late substitute in the 3-2 win over Manchester City in mid-April and has been hampered by a foot injury of late, sitting out the last four games.
"Bobby is now running, so it is all good," said the manager. "It is very painful, he has a little pain on the bone in the middle of the foot. It is very painful, but he is running. He will travel with us, but he will not be involved in the squad yet.
"We hope [he is back] sooner rather than later. We had issues with stomach bugs too and they are all back. Villarreal will go with all they have that is absolutely clear, from the things Unai Emery said after the game."
