Liverpool new boy Federico Chiesa should come into consideration for his debut in Saturday's Premier League showdown versus Nottingham Forest at Anfield.
The former Juventus winger was signed in time to play in the 3-0 win over Manchester United two weekends ago, but owing to his lack of football in recent weeks, he was held back by Arne Slot.
However, having now had two weeks to get up to speed at Kirkby following his national team omission, Chiesa should be in the matchday squad this weekend, but he will almost certainly be on the bench.
At this stage, the Reds' only guaranteed absentee will be foot fracture victim Harvey Elliott, while Curtis Jones is still touch-and-go with a groin injury but would have never started either way.
Instead, Alexis Mac Allister - who shook off his own adductor complaint while playing for Argentina - and Ryan Gravenberch should link arms in the engine room once more, just behind number 10 Dominik Szoboszlai.
Aiming to become just the second Liverpool player to score in their first four games of a Premier League season after 2013-14 Daniel Sturridge, Mohamed Salah forms a fearsome attacking trident with the in-form Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, who has six goals from five games against Forest in all tournaments.
On the back of a stellar international window for England, Trent Alexander-Arnold struts his stuff at right-back as part of an unchanged rearguard also comprising Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Andrew Robertson.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota
