Daniel Sturridge is set for yet another injury-enforced absence after suffering a hamstring strain in Liverpool's defeat at Newcastle United on Sunday.
The England international came on as a replacement for Roberto Firmino after 62 minutes at St James' Park as the Merseysiders slumped to a 2-0 loss.
Sturridge scored 28 times for Liverpool and England in 2013-14 but was restricted to just 18 appearances last season because of thigh, calf and hip injuries.
He returned in the home draw with Norwich City in September but was then sidelined again.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp questioned Sturridge's psychological approach to dealing with injuries - suggesting he needs to "learn what is serious pain and what is only pain" - and started him in the League Cup quarter-final at Southampton last Wednesday.
