Liverpool will need to make fitness checks on James Milner and Dejan Lovren ahead of the trip to Brighton and Hove Albion.
Milner was forced to sit out the victory over Aston Villa on Sunday due to a minor muscle issue the Reds didn’t want to risk.
Lovren has been absent from the past two matches with a knock, while Joel Matip is set to miss the remainder of the season with his foot injury.
There was, however, a return for Xherdan Shaqiri on the weekend, with the No.23 part of a matchday squad for the first time since January.
Brighton, meanwhile, will definitely be without Jose Izquierdo, with Steven Alzate also a doubt.
Seagulls manager Graham Potter told the media on Monday: “The only player not available on Wednesday will be Jose Izquierdo. He’s still some way away, he’ll be more for further in the future.
“We’re monitoring him [Alzate] daily, we’ll have to make some decisions over him in the next few days. He looked like he was struggling slightly in training on Monday, so we’ll have to see.”
Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has admitted that Adam Lallana has played his last game for the club.
Lallana signed a short-term contract last month, as Klopp wanted him to be at Anfield for their Premier League triumph.
The 32-year-old midfielder has been an integral part of the Reds’ squad during the German’s five years at the club.
Lallana has, however, not featured in any of Liverpool’s match day squads since the league restarted in June and he will not be included for Wednesday’s trip to Brighton.
Arsenal, Leicester, Bournemouth and Tottenham are believed to be all interested in signing the player and Klopp is not ready to jeopardize a potential move by asking him to play in his side’s remaining five games.
“It is clear Adam will leave the club in the summer.
“I miss already everything about him — and in this moment, he is still here! He is an outstanding player, one of the most influential in training I have ever had in my life. He is an incredible professional.
“He is so fit. Now we have a difficult situation but I will respect Adam,” Klopp told a virtual press conference on Tuesday.
