Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold for Wednesday's EFL Cup semi-final first leg with Fulham at Anfield.
Assistant head coach Pep Lijnders revealed on Tuesday that the Reds vice-captain had injured his knee against Arsenal in the weekend's FA Cup clash, and he will now spend a few weeks on the sidelines in another defensive blow for the hosts.
On a brighter note, Virgil van Dijk has made a full recovery from illness, but Wataru Endo and Mohamed Salah are both unavailable due to international commitments.
Lijnders has also ruled Dominik Szoboszlai out of the contest due to his hamstring concern, while Andrew Robertson (shoulder), Kostas Tsimikas (collarbone), Stefan Bajcetic (calf), Thiago Alcantara (hip), Ben Doak (knee) and Joel Matip (ACL) are long-term absentees.
Alisson Becker was given the nod in goal at the Emirates, but Caoimhin Kelleher has played every minute of Liverpool's EFL Cup run so far - albeit without keeping a clean sheet - and should turn out at Anfield.
With Joe Gomez required on the left again, Conor Bradley - who impressed in a second-half cameo at the Emirates - will begin an anticipated run of games on the right-hand side in Alexander-Arnold's absence, while Ibrahima Konate produced a man-of-the-match display against Arsenal and is set to hold his place too.
Jarell Quansah was able to continue at the Emirates despite appearing to tweak his back, but the expected return of Van Dijk would allow the 20-year-old to earn a complete rest in midweek.
Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister appear to be shoo-ins in the engine room, while Ryan Gravenberch should also be considered for promotion to the first XI, potentially in place of Cody Gakpo.
Arsenal's nemesis Diogo Jota also made a positive impact at the Emirates and will threaten to take Harvey Elliott's place in the attack, where Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are set to continue.
Liverpool possible starting lineup: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Jones, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Jota, Nunez, Diaz
