Liverpool return to Premier League action with a rare 3pm home kick-off against Fulham on Saturday. Following the postponement of last weekend’s Goodison derby, the Reds could welcome back several key players for the title race.
Goalkeeper Alisson Becker is set to feature after making a strong comeback from a hamstring tear in the 1-0 Champions League win over Girona on Tuesday.
Diogo Jota, who has been sidelined since October with an upper-body injury sustained against Chelsea, participated in full training earlier this week and may be included in the squad.
Federico Chiesa has also been making strides in his recovery, having trained with the first team for two weeks and played 60 minutes for the under-21s last Wednesday, scoring in a 4-3 defeat against FC Nordsjaelland.
However, his availability against Fulham remains uncertain after missing the Girona match due to illness.
Midfielder Tyler Morton is a doubt after sustaining a knock, while Liverpool will be without four confirmed absentees.
Defenders Ibrahima Konate (knee) and Conor Bradley (hamstring) are still in the early stages of recovery after injuries sustained during the Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
Left-back Kostas Tsimikas remains sidelined with an ankle injury that has kept him out of Liverpool’s last five matches.
Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister will miss the Fulham game due to a one-match suspension after accumulating five yellow cards in the Premier League.
He was also suspended for the Girona match after reaching the booking threshold in the Champions League.
