Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Virgil van Dijk, Thiago Alcantara and Luis Diaz are all back in training, but the latter "probably" won't be risked against Arsenal.
Liverpool take on the Premier League leaders at Anfield on Sunday, knowing they can't afford to drop any more points. Klopp's side are eighth in the table, 10 points behind Manchester United in fourth. A loss to Arsenal would surely end their top four hopes.
Diaz hasn't played in the Premier League since suffering a knee injury the last time Liverpool played Arsenal in October. The Reds are planning on ending the Colombian's six-month injury hell when they travel to relegation candidates Leeds on Monday, April 17.
"Virgil is back in training, Luis and Thiago training completely normal," Klopp told reporters on Friday. "The plan for Luis is that he will be 100 per cent available for Leeds. We will probably not involve him for Sunday. Thiago is slightly different and might be available."
Van Dijk was unavailable for Liverpool's goalless draw with Chelsea on Tuesday due to illness but has since recovered. Thiago has missed the last two months due to a hip injury. Calvin Ramsay (knee), Stefan Bajcetic (hip) and Naby Keita (muscle) all remain absent.
Liverpool have been blighted by injuries but their crisis is easing, as the business end of the season arrives. Klopp knows it will be difficult for his team to beat Arsenal, who sit eight points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table having played a game more.

Klopp was full of praise for his opposite number Mikel Arteta. He added, "Mikel Arteta has been building for a few years now, the outcome is pretty impressive. I don't know exactly what you can say about us at the moment, so that shows the situation. It's still Anfield, we're at home and we still have to show a reaction and an improvement."
Klopp has called on the home fans to carry his team over the line on Sunday. Liverpool have won just one of their last eight away Premier League games, but it's a different story at Anfield. They hammered Manchester United 7-0 in their last outing there.
The German noted, "It is not the only thing we should rely on. But it is no secret that the combination of our people, the ground and the boys is pretty good. That is what we have to throw in, but not rely on it. I have a very good feeling we can do it."
Liverpool will finish the campaign without a major honour after failing to go far in the Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. They have just 10 fixtures remaining this season, and they probably need to win all of them to mount a late top-four push.
Liverpool's fixtures aren't easy. They still have to play Tottenham, Brentford and Aston Villa - three genuine European candidates. Yet beating Arsenal will be their toughest task.
"They made good transfers, pretty stable, brought in super important players - but not too many," added Klopp in his assessment of the Gunners.
