Liverpool prepares to face Leeds United at Anfield on Wednesday evening, with hopes of reclaiming the Premier League title revived.
Last time out, Jurgen Klopp's side survived a scare to beat Norwich City 3-1, while the Whites' efforts against Manchester United were in vain as they were defeated 4-2.
Liverpool lost Roberto Firmino to a muscular problem before the Norwich win, with Klopp later stating that the forward would be out for "a while," and the full extent of Diogo Jota's ankle injury is still unknown.
The Reds have no new concerns to report from the weekend, when the pack was shuffled significantly as Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson both rested.
Despite the impending cup final, the two full-backs will be expected to return, while Divock Origi will be hoping for a rare start given Klopp's centre-forward dilemma.
Leeds' Koch eventually left the field in the 31st minute after colliding with Scott McTominay, and the German will almost certainly sit this one out due to concussion concerns.
Because Sam Greenwood, Patrick Bamford, Kalvin Phillips, and Liam Cooper are still out, Jamie Shackleton could fill in for Koch in the middle alongside Adam Forshaw, unless Mateusz Klich drops deeper.
Raphinha was unexpectedly named to the bench for the match against Manchester United, but he can expect an immediate recall at Anfield, especially since Liverpool is said to be closely monitoring his progress.
