Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita is likely miss the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie at Bayern Munich with reports suggesting he has not traveled with the rest of the players because of a minor injury.
Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold could feature after being substituted in Sunday’s 4-2 Premier League win over Burnley as a precaution.
James Milner could also recover from a muscle problem to play in midfield.Long-term absentee Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain missed training despite featuring for the reserves on Friday.
The midfielder has been sidelined by a knee injury since last April and came off just before half-time with a minor hamstring issue, which manager Jurgen Klopp later said was nothing to be concerned about.
Meanwhile, hosts Bayern Munich will be without suspended pair Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller, but James Rodriguez is expected to come into an attacking midfield role.
Defender David Alaba and winger Kingsley Coman have been ruled fit after overcoming injuries.
Liverpool were held to a goalless draw at Anfield in the first leg so will need to score in Munich if they are to reach the quarter-finals.
Last year’s finalists have struggled for form in recent weeks – picking up five wins in their past 10 games in all competitions – but remain only a point behind leaders Manchester City in the Premier League title race.
The Champions League may not be their sole focus this season, with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah admitting he was willing “to sacrifice” his dream of winning the competition in order to deliver a first league title in 29 years.
“I’ll be honest with you, the most prestigious competition for me is the Champions League,” said Salah.
“But the dream for the city and the club is the league. So, I’m happy to sacrifice my dream for their dream. If we win both that would be great, and this is what we are trying to do.”
Bayern took over at the top of the Bundesliga from Borussia Dortmund with a 6-0 demolition of Wolfsburg on Saturday for their 12th win in their past 13 league games.
But Liverpool will welcome the return of centre-back Virgil van Dijk, who missed the first leg through suspension, and Bayern manager Niko Kovac says their opponents will be “even stronger”.
“We know they are strong in defence,” said Kovac. “With Virgil van Dijk coming back Liverpool will be even stronger in defence but we can score goals. We have shown that in the Bundesliga.
“There won’t be a 0-0. We want to win it and that is how we will approach the game. You cannot rely twice on a goalless draw to advance.
“What we need to improve is our efficiency up front. I am confident that at home with the support of our fans, we will be even more efficient in attack and create more opportunities.”
