Liverpool could be without Victor Munoz for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Spaniard missed Tuesday’s Champions League victory over Villarreal after picking up a knock in last Saturday’s defeat to Brentford.
Dominik Szoboszlai also remains sidelined, while Bradley Barcola is expected to be available despite missing Thursday’s training session.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, head coach Andoni Iraola said: “Bradley has trained today normally. He’s fine with no problem.
“It was just a matter of sometimes you have to deal with the loads and we consider sometimes they have to stay inside. But he’s fine.
“Victor, he has the knock he received against Brentford [in the] first half. He could finish the game very well.
“But he’s dealing with some pain since then and it was too early the other day against Villarreal.
“I don’t know if he’s going to arrive. I think it’s going to be difficult but I really don’t know.”
On Szoboszlai, who was forced off against Brentford and then sat out the Villarreal game, Iraola added: “Dom is going to be out this weekend. I don’t think he’s far but he hasn’t trained with the group still.
“And also considering the other day that we started him and he had to go out, we will probably take one or two days more than we would last week.
“He’s in a good place. Dom is already training outside alone and is going to train with the group, but he’s not ready for this one.”
