Alberto Aquilani could make his first playing appearance in a Liverpool shirt on Wednesday night in a reserve team outing.
The £20million summer signing from Roma is still to feature for the Reds this term as he continues to work his way back to full fitness following a summer knee operation.
Italy international Aquilani, who manager Rafa Benitez believes can provide the creativity the Reds have been missing since the departure of Xabi Alonso, has been in full training for over a week.
Benitez is considering giving the 25-year-old attacking midfielder a short outing during the second string encounter with Sunderland at Tranmere's Prenton Park.
But even if Aquilani does make a cameo appearance on Wednesday, he is highly unlikely to be considered for a first-team debut against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
