Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is expected to be back in full training next week when his team-mates return from their warm-weather training camp in Spain.
The Croatia international did not make the trip to La Manga on Wednesday, instead remaining on Merseyside to continue treatment on a knee injury which has kept him out of the last two matches.
Midfielder Marko Grujic, who has not featured in a match day squad since the end of November because of a hamstring injury, also stayed behind at the club's Melwood training ground but he too is expected to step up his training next week.
