Adam Lallana is expected to return for Liverpool before the end of September

Adam Lallana could return to action this month after a scan revealed the groin strain he sustained on Tuesday to be minor

The Liverpool midfielder withdrew from the England squad after picking up the injury during training at St George's park. He has been ruled out of England matches against Spain and Switzerland but is only expected to be sideline for a short period 
"It's a minor setback, which isn't ideal, as i have been in great shape until now, but it's positive news that it's only a brief lay off" he said
"I'm pleased i will be back available for Liverpool, both domestically and champions League during September, and then England again for the next break
"I know i can make a significant contribution over the course of a long season and that's where my focus will remain-with so much to play for"
He added "I'm back at Melwood now making sure my time off the pitch is as short as possible, so i'll be supporting Gareth and the boys from up here"
Injury squad issues cost Lallana a place in the squad that reached the world cup semi-final during the summer, after work with the team through out their preparation camp.
