Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia might make way for Daniel Agger if the veteran fails the fitness test ahead of Sunday’s Premiership clash at Manchester City.
Hyypia limped off the field on Boxing Day with an ankle injury and Reds boss Rafa Benitez feels it will be difficult for the Finland international to recover in time for the City game.
Denmark defender Agger meanwhile had been out with metatarsal injury since September and could provide a timely boost.
"It will be difficult for Sami," Benitez said on the club’s official website.
"He is working hard with the physios and we are waiting to see whether he will be available. We will have to wait and see.
"If Sami doesn't play then we can think about using Daniel. He is training and is very close now."
