Alisson's rehabilitation from a calf injury has entered the next phase with the Liverpool goalkeeper doing outside drills during the international break.
The Brazil international has been sidelined since the Premier League opener against Norwich City, but stepped up his recovery at Melwood over the past week.
The 26-year-old has done extra strength work in the gym, but more promisingly, has been able to work on Melwood's pitches to sharpen his footwork, catching and passing.
Liverpool refuse to put a timescale on Alisson's return as they do not want to rush him back, but goalkeeping coach John Achterberg is happy with his progress.
"Ali has been working with Dave [Rydings] in the gym a lot to improve the strength and try to keep the fitness levels up," he told the club's official website.
"In the last few days he has been out on the pitch to do some catching and footwork, as well as small passing drills.
"He has made steady progress, but it is difficult to say how long it will take or how it will progress.
"It needs time and we cannot look too far ahead, so we take each day as it comes, see how he feels, and then make progress from that."
