That left manager Marco Silva without two of his senior centre-backs as his side face a daunting trip to Merseyside this afternoon.
Issa Diop retains his place, and is partnered by summer signing Cuenca, making his first start in the Premier League after two in the Carabao Cup so far this term.
Fulham are also without Reiss Nelson, who has a hamstring injury which Silva expects to keep the Arsenal loanee sidelined for around 10 weeks.
Midfielder Harrison Reed is also absent due to a knee injury sustained last month, while club captain Tom Cairney is again suspended following his red card at Tottenham.
There are two changes further forward for Fulham, with Emile Smith Rowe and Adama Traore both dropping to the bench as former Liverpool winger Harry Wilson and Andreas Pereira come in.
