Naby Keita is expected to return for Liverpool’s Premier League match against Crystal Palace on Monday night.
Due to illness, the midfielder missed last week’s disappointing draw away at Fulham, and having him available will be a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp.
Thiago Alcantara, on the other hand, will be out for four to six weeks with a hamstring injury, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Curtis Jones are also out.
Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate, Calvin Ramsay, and Caoimhn Kelleher are still injured, but Kostas Tsimikas has returned to training and should be available to travel to Selhurst Park.
Klopp has also hinted that Harvey Elliott could be handed a starting role in a midfield three having been impressed with the teenager during pre-season following his horrific injury away at Leeds last season.
James Milner was one of the few Liverpool players who made a positive impact at Craven Cottage after his introduction, along with big summer signing Darwin Nunez, with the two likely to start at Anfield.
Liverpool predicted XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Milner, Elliott; Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Injured: Jota (hamstring), Konate (knee), Thiago (hamstring), Kelleher (groin), Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring), Ramsay
