The Slovakian has been out of action with a calf muscle injury and has been ruled out of his national side's game against Austria on Wednesday.
He was an ever present for the Reds last season, who had the sixth best defensive record in the league.
Kenny Dalglish's side have conceded 15 goals in their six friendlies this summer, which included a 3-0 defeat to Championship side Hull City.
Skrtel told his personal website that he is doing his best to close in on a return to action.
He said: "In the last few days I have been running on a treadmill and even did some jogging outdoors.
"I believe that everything will go according to plan and I will soon be fully fit.
"I am expecting to be able to increase the burden every day and hopefully join the team as soon as possible.
"However, everything depends on how the leg will react."
New signings
Meanwhile, Skrtel is confident that the club's new signings will improve the squad.
Doni, Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson have joined from Roma, Blackpool, Aston Villa and Sunderland respectively.
Skrtel said: "I've been familiar with Stewart since I played against him a couple of years ago.
"I was at right-back and he was on the wing giving me a really hard time.
"Charlie had a great season with Blackpool and I am really glad he is here.
"Jordan is still very young but he has already won a call-up to the national side which speaks for itself."
