Jurgen Klopp has a few new physical issue worries in front of Liverpool's outing to Benfica in the Champions League.
The Portuguese side has previously taken out Barcelona and Ajax in the current year's opposition yet the Reds will fancy their possibilities at Estadio da Luz.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was considered "completely fit" by Jurgen Klopp for Saturday's success over Watford yet stayed on the seat having just barely gotten back from a hamstring injury.
Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz were named on the seat for that Premier League game in the wake of getting back from global obligation and could get back to confront Benfica.
Naby Keita (knee) is a significant uncertainty while Curtis Jones and Joel Matip got thumps against the Hornets.
"I don't know it's a worry yet, [Jones] simply needed a tying," said Klopp. "He bent his lower leg and needed a tying, yet we needed to change in any case.
"He got the tying yet after he fell off. He clearly could walk regularly yet I didn't see him yet. I imagine that ought to be the just [injury concern].
"Joel Matip had an appropriate [knock], it resembled a golf ball [on his head] however it was not much, it was only an injury and had puffed up a tad. He said he was totally fine, that is the reason we had the strong there. That is all there is to it, I'm almost certain."
Anticipated Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Thiago, Fabinho, Henderson; Salah, Jota, Diaz.
