Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Darwin Nunez "might be in contention" for Liverpool's game against Chelsea on Saturday afternoon - but it is too early to say for sure.
Nunez, 23, has missed Liverpool's last two fixtures in all competitions with a leg injury, including the 1-0 FA Cup triumph against Wolves on Tuesday night. Klopp will be keen to have the Uruguayan available for the crucial mid-table clash against the Blues.
Liverpool and Chelsea are enduring tricky Premier League campaigns. the Reds are ninth - 10 points behind Manchester United in fourth - while Graham Potter's side are 10th. The Blues have the same amount of points as Liverpool but have played a game more.
