Sammy Lee is hoping Alberto Aquilani will be available for selection in Sunday’s showdown with Manchester United at Old Trafford after the Italian returned to training on Friday.
The Reds No.4 missed Thursday's Europa League victory over Lille with a virus, and Liverpool will give him every chance to prove his fitness for Sunday.
"Alberto did some light training for us today so hopefully he will be ready for the weekend," Lee told Liverpoolfc.tv.
"We don't know at this moment in time if he will be available but we have still got 72 hours to the match so hopefully he will be ready for us."
Rafael Benitez is still without Fabio Aurelio who is recovering from an injury to his right thigh muscle.
"At this moment in time Fabio is working hard in rehab," Lee added.
"We are not putting any pressure on him and he will be looking to get back as soon as he can. He has started doing work outside again and hopefully fingers crossed you will see him in the not too distant future."
