Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has alluded to the possibility that the club will be unable to add to the signing of Maxi Rodriguez during the current transfer window, but believes his squad can still fulfil their ambitions.
The mid-season market ceases trading on Monday, and Liverpool - despite being linked with a multitude of Europe's big names including Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, David Silva and Milan Jovanovic - are yet to seal a second deal this month.
"We have been working and we are still working trying to find players in different positions, but it's not easy to find a good player or a player at the level of our team," Benitez explained to the club's official website.
"We have to keep going until the end, and if we cannot [sign anyone else] we will have to manage."
The club's physios are currently nursing four first-team players back to full health. Dan Agger, Fernando Torres, Yossi Benayoun and Glen Johnson are all sidelined with respective groin, knee, rib, and knee ligament problems.
The former three are expected to return in February, while Johnson is pencilled in for a March recovery.
The Spainiard added: "We are quite happy with the squad and have players coming back from injuries.
"To find better players than our own and ones that are available in the market is not easy.
"If we need to do something, we have sold some players, so we can manage."
