Brendan Rodgers is hopeful that Pepe Reina will be fit to face Southampton this weekend.
The Spanish custodian missed our 3-2 victory over Tottenham on Sunday with a calf problem.
Brad Jones deputized as the Reds climbed to sixth in the Barclays Premier League.
Rodgers said: "It was disappointing because we thought he would probably make it on Sunday.
"He had a tight calf in a fitness test on Sunday morning and unfortunately for him he didn't get through it. Hopefully by this weekend he'll be fine.
"Big credit to Brad Jones, who came in at the last minute. He equipped himself terrifically on Sunday and made a great stop, especially in the first half.
"We'll see how Pepe is later this week."
