Bailly was expected to return after the international break but a muscle injury will force him to return to the game a little bit later. He has, however, been pictured back in training.

Manchester United's seven-man injury list in full as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces Southampton selection task
Manchester United will be in action for their next Premier League clash against Southampton on Sunday.
The Red Devils will be hoping for another successful game, however, dealing with a seven-man injury list.
Luke Shaw will miss the upcoming match due to a hamstring problem, while Alex Telles is likely to start in his place.
"We'll see how he reacts to the programme he's on and to the rehab work. Hopefully near four but probably nearer five or six [weeks]," Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said of the defender.
Paul Pogba was reported to get recovered after suffering an ankle problem. However, Goal journalist Charlotte Duncker has revealed the Frenchman is likely not to feature for Sunday's game along with Scott McTominay, with both players missing squad training today.
Red Devils are hopeful Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka will return against the Saints, though they still remain doubtful.
"Hopefully they'll be ready for the weekend. It's ankle for Aaron and back for Victor. There was no point taking any more risks," the United manager said earlier this week.
Jesse Lingard is also set to miss the Southampton clash after being in close contact with someone who has tested positive for coronavirus.
"Jesse is still self-isolating after being in contact with a positive case," said Solskjaer.
Defenders Phil Jones and Eric Bailly could also be out of action for the upcoming match.
"[He's] working really hard to be back, hopefully, he'll get fit in December," the manager said of Jones.
