Fabian Hurzeler says James Milner is doing everything he can to get back on the pitch.

The former Liverpool and Manchester City midfielder hasn’t played since our 1-1 draw at Arsenal in August.

“He's in every day and trying to do his rehab," said Hurzeler. "He's trying to be back on the pitch as soon as possible.

“I think everyone can imagine how hard he works in the gym, how professional he is and how positive his mindset is.

“It's so important for us to have him around the training ground because he always has an opinion, he can share his experiences and support the young players.

“On top of that, of course, he is trying to do everything to be back on the pitch to help the team.”

Hurzeler is expecting to have midfielder Mats Wieffer available soon.

“[He’s doing] quite well, so hopefully he will be back in one to two weeks without putting too much pressure on my medical department," said Hurzeler.
