JOSE MOURINHO says Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are closing on a return to first-team action.
The Reds have been without the duo, plus injured stars Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Marcos Rojo.
But Mourinho says they will be in a "good position" for the Christmas period, following the international break.
While long-term absentees Ibra and Rojo, who sustained knee injuries last season, are yet to recover.
Mourinho said: "We have the group of players which are the ones that we hope will recover as soon as possible."They have to work every day but they are in a good position now. Pogba, Ibrahimovic, Rojo, Fellaini.

"They are in good positions so I think we can go into this part of the season, the Christmas period, and after, in a strong position."
With nine matches to be played across all competitions in December, Mourinho says he will give the likes of Chris Smalling and Ander Herrera a week off.
He added: "They (international players) all disappear and then we have a couple... like Smalling and Herrera and they really deserve, after so many matches, to have a week off which I'm going to give them."
