Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo is closing in on a return to first-team action - but won't feature before the international break.
The Argentine defender has been out of action since suffering a cruciate knee liagment injury in the Europa League quarter-final victory over Anderlecht in April.
He established himself as one of the Red Devils' key players last season and Jose Mourinho has missed his presence in his backline this term.
United return to action after the international break against Newcastle at Old Trafford on November 18, but Rojo may first feature for the Under-23s against Manchester City the following day.
While Mourinho is looking forward to welcoming back Rojo, he admits a return date for Paul Pogba is still uncertain.
"Again, I have no idea, honestly, I have no idea," Mourinho said on Pogba. "I have no idea, I'm not in control of his recovery process, he's not training with me, he's on individual work and not in my group.
"Even under certain conditions, for example Marcos Rojo is working with me, with certain conditions, but he's working with me.
"But I would expect Marcos Rojo to be ready to play after the international break. I can predict that because he's training with me.
"But Paul, I have no idea."
