Thiago Alcantara could make his first start since February when Liverpool host Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday afternoon in the Premier League.
The Spaniard made his return from injury during the Reds' 2-2 draw with Arsenal at Anfield earlier this month, before enjoying a late cameo at Elland Road on Monday night. However after a full week of training, the 32-year-old could be in line for a first Premier League start since February 4.
Jurgen Klopp's side enter the final weeks of the Premier League campaign sitting nine points off the Champions League places, but after a morale-boosting 6-1 defeat of Leeds United the Reds have an outside chance of securing a return to Europe's premier competition next season.

Speaking at the AXA Training Centre on Friday afternoon, Klopp confirmed Liverpool would be without Roberto Firmino for this weekend's clash, as well as forthcoming fixtures against West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Elsewhere, Luis Diaz is also expected to continue his recovery from his long-term knee injury with another second half cameo at Anfield, just five days after making his first appearance in six months as he, alongside Thiago, were introduced for the closing stages of Monday's encounter.
Long-term absentees Calvin Ramsay, Naby Keita and Stefan Bajcetic will play no part in Saturday's game as they continue to nurse their individual issues.
Here is the full Liverpool squad available for the clash against Nottingham Forest:
Goalkeepers: Adrian, Alisson, Caoimhin Kelleher.
Defenders: Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Kostas Tsimikas, Nat Phillips, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold
Midfielders: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Fabio Carvalho, Arthur Melo, Fabinho, James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones, Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alcantara.
Forwards: Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah, Bobby Clark, Ben Doak, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota
