Outgoing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai both have "a chance" of featuring in Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie with Norwich City at Anfield.
Neither man was ready to return from their respective injury problems for the second leg of their EFL Cup semi-final with Fulham, where a 1-1 draw propelled Liverpool into February's final via a 3-2 aggregate success.
However, Klopp is expecting Szoboszlai (hamstring) to be part of the matchday squad, although Alexander-Arnold (knee) - who sustained his issue in the third-round beating of Arsenal - is more of a doubt.
Furthermore, Wataru Endo is still on international duty - and muscular victim Mohamed Salah technically is too - while Joel Matip (knee), Ben Doak (knee), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago Alcantara (hip) or Kostas Tsimikas (collarbone) continue to rehabilitate.
Alisson Becker was given the nod in goal at the Emirates, but it would not be a surprise to see Caoimhin Kelleher guard the posts against Championship opposition, potentially with Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate protecting him as Jarell Quansah makes way.
The young Conor Bradley may also be spared given his exhausting exploits recently, allowing Andrew Robertson to make his competitive comeback on the left-hand side of the backline as Joe Gomez shifts across to the right flank, although the former is unlikely to complete the full 90.
Curtis Jones shook off a hamstring concern to play a substitute role at Craven Cottage and could now take Harvey Elliott's place in the engine room, although Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister should not be afforded any respite if Szoboszlai is only fit enough for the bench.
In spite of Luis Diaz's pivotal feats against Fulham, the Colombian is also at risk of the axe after playing the full 90 in midweek, as Diogo Jota bids to join Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo in the final third.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Kelleher; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Jones, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Jota, Gakpo, Nunez
Ben Knapton
