Jurgen Klopp will be forced into yet another defensive reshuffle when Liverpool take on Crystal Palace at Anfield this weekend.
With Dejan Lovren (hamstring) and Joe Gomez (leg) still sidelined, the Reds have been dealt another injury blow with the news that Trent Alexander-Arnold is set for up to four weeks on the sidelines.
The Scouse teenager sustained what was thought to be an ankle injury while warming up ahead of Saturday's meeting with Brighton but played through the pain barrier to help his team to a 1-0 win.
However, further assessment has identified a knee problem that is likely to see Alexander-Arnold miss up to four games.
The absence of Klopp's first-choice right-back could mean a return to the back four for James Milner, who has deputised on a number of occasions already this season.
Elsewhere, Joel Matip is in contention to feature at centre-half in a move that would allow midfielder Fabinho to return to his rightful position against Palace.
That news comes as a particular boost given the expected absence of Georginio Wijnaldum, who also sustained a minor knee injury at Brighton.
But it remains unclear whether Adam Lallana will be fit to feature as he continues his recovery from a minor muscle issue.
Liverpool's predicted line-up: Alisson, Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Henderson, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah, Firmino
