Yossi Benayoun is a doubt for the trip to Lille after sustaining an ankle injury in the 1-0 defeat to Wigan on Monday.
The Israel international missed training today and Rafa Benitez must now decide whether to include him in the party which will travel to France for Thursday's Europa League last 16 clash.
Meanwhile, Daniel Agger should make the trip after recovering from a sickness bug which ruled him out of Wigan.
Benitez told Liverpoolfc.tv: "We had some problems with Agger. He was sick and lost some weight. We had to be careful with him but he's training now so hopefully will be okay.
"Benayoun had a problem with his ankle. We have to see - we have one more day. He wasn't training today so we have to decide."
One plus for Benitez on Monday night was the return as a substitute of Glen Johnson.
The gaffer added: "It was the only positive. To have another body and another player. He can be an important player for us for the rest of the season.
"It was clear he still hasn't got the match fitness but at least he showed his quality. He was going forward and it's a different option in the side."
