Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is hoping to be fit for next Monday's Barclays Premier League clash with West Brom at Anfield.
Sturridge has been forced to pull out of the England squad for this week's friendly against Brazil at Wembley with a thigh problem.
The 23-year-old suffered the injury in the 2-2 draw at Manchester City on Sunday, a game in which he also netted his fourth goal since joining Liverpool from Chelsea last month.
"I got a knock on my quad and I'm going to get a scan on it," he told the club's official website. "Hopefully it's not too serious and I'll be okay for next week's game."
Sturridge was injured in the first half at the Etihad Stadium but played on until being replaced in the 89th minute. He reported for international duty but a decision was made to withdraw after speaking to manager Roy Hodgson.
Liverpool now hopes victory over the Baggies can keep them in contention for a place in the top four.
The point against the champions came after another 2-2 draw at Arsenal - two encouraging results from which the Reds believe they could have claimed even more.
