Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho in line to return from injury against Arsenal
PHILIPPE COUTINHO has been cleared to return to action and could feature this Saturday against Arsenal.
The Brazilian has been out after undergoing surgery on a shoulder injury suffered in a challenge with Swansea's Ashley Young in mid-September.
The news comes more or less on schedule with Liverpool's initial predictions about the 21-year-old's absence and just a week after Brendan Rodgers suggested he only just missed the Anfield clubs match against West Brom.
Speaking about the midfielder's progress Rodgers said: "He's been given the all clear by the specialist to come in.
"He's been training for the last few weeks, so he'll come back into the squad."
Liverpool could be without Jose Enrique, however, with the defender still struggling with a knee injury.
Liverpool head into this weekend's clash two points behind their opponents, and currently sit in third, level on points with Chelsea.
