Defender Michael Duberry has resumed training following cracked ribs but will not be considered for a comeback.
Winger Glen Little (Achilles) is the only other absentee.
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez must decide whether to risk Jamie Carragher as a booking will see the defender banned for next weekend's showdown with Manchester United.
Carragher has recovered from a rib injury, but Benitez has teenager Jack Hobbs on stand-by while Daniel Agger is close to a return after a metatarsal injury.
The Merseysiders have Agger, Xabi Alonso and Fabio Aurelio all back in training and it is likely that all three will figure at some point as Liverpool face tough matches in little over a week against Marseille, United and Chelsea, in the Carling Cup.
