Rafael Benitez is hopeful of having Pepe Reina available for selection at Stoke City on Saturday.
The Liverpool goalkeeper missed the midweek Cup defeat to Reading with a back injury, but trained with his teammates on Friday.
"Pepe did some light training today and we will make a decision tomorrow," said Benitez.
The Reds' boss, who is now without Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and Yossi Benayoun following the Reading clash, has revealed Albert Riera will return to the squad for the trip to the Britannia Stadium.
But Martin Kelly and Nabil El Zhar are both still sidelined with injury problems.
With the injuries mounting at Melwood, Benitez says the club is still looking into the possibility of adding another new face to the squad before the transfer window closes.
He said: "We have Maxi now and we are really pleased. We are still working hard to find good players.
"In this market it is very difficult but we have to keep looking to see if we can find someone."
