Coutinho back for Liverpool this weekend at Newcastle?

Philippe Coutinho could make his return from injury for Liverpool in Saturday lunchtime's Premier League match at Newcastle United.

The Brazilian playmaker has been out for around a month since picking up a shoulder injury in the draw at Swansea City.

According to the Shields Gazette, Coutinho could return to action at St James' Park, where he starred in last season's 6-0 drubbing.

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers is said to be ready to also welcome back Glen Johnson at right-back, as well as Aly Cissokho and Joe Allen from the sidelines.
