The expectation is that Mohamed Salah will play again for Liverpool this season, though a hamstring injury could keep him out of this weekend's trip to Manchester United in the Premier League.
Salah limped off with the injury against Crystal Palace last Sunday and has since undergone a scan that confirmed the issue was not too serious. The Egyptian's participation at the World Cup was never really in doubt, but it will come as a relief to the 33-year-old that he has not played his last minutes at Anfield.
Elsewhere, Wataru Endo, Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni all remain out, though the former could return to action before the end of the season after he picked up an injury in February at Sunderland.

Hugo Ekitike has joined the list of long-term absentees with a serious Achilles injury. He will miss the World Cup with France and likely a chunk of next season too, though, like Salah, no exact timeline for a return has been provided.
Giorgi Mamardashvili is currently sidelined because of the injury he sustained against Everton, but Alisson Becker is hoping to return in time to take on Manchester United.
Young duo Jayden Danns and Stefan Bajcetic are both still missing through problems that have troubled them for some time, though neither would have featured at Old Trafford anyway.

Last time out, though Salah went off injured, Liverpool picked up a big three points in the race for the Champions League spots.
"I think we needed these three points, especially at home," Florian Wirtz said. "So, really happy that we keep them here.
"Of course, we knew before the game what was coming with them because we faced them already three times before [this season], I think.
"So, we knew they play a lot of balls in behind, take not too much risk, just looking for deep runs, so I think we defended it quite well. Of course they had a few chances, but it’s always difficult to keep them too far away from the goal.

"So, I think we did good with the whole team, everyone defended good, and then we knew also that we have the quality to create our own chances and today there were, I think, some more good chances... so in the end 3-1 is OK.
"I think [it is] a massive three points today. It was clear for us that this game today is really important for the qualification for the Champions League. It’s not done yet, we have a few more games, but a good step."
After playing Manchester United, Liverpool finishes the season with matches against Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brentford. It needs five more points to confirm a top-five place.
