Liverpool will continue to be without Roberto Firmino but Kostas Tsimikas has returned to training ahead of Saturday's trip to Newcastle United.
Firmino remains sidelined with the foot injury he sustained against Manchester City at Wembley earlier this month and is ruled out of the lunchtime Premier League kick-off.
Curtis Jones and Tsimikas missed the midweek Champions League defeat of Villarreal due to illness and there was a mixed report on the duo from Jürgen Klopp on Friday.
"Kostas was back yesterday, Curtis couldn't train yesterday," said the manager, who extended his contract with the club this week, at his pre-match press conference.
On Firmino and the rest of the squad, he said: "Bobby, it is not a serious injury, we are all still kind of convinced, but it takes now a little bit longer already than we all thought, especially Bobby thought as well.
"He will not be ready for tomorrow, Bobby. He didn't train yet. We have to get further information and find a way to get him back. That's it pretty much, I think."
Diogo Jota could reach the landmark of 50 Premier League appearances for the Reds, while Jordan Henderson's next game will take him to a half-century this season.
Team Prediction
With a need to get some of the lads rested changes are probably likely but nobody can second guess Our Jurgen. I'll have a stab at it here though
Who would you select?
Up the Mighty Reds !
YNWA !
