Liverpool boss Arne Slot says Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa could be in the squad to face Fulham on Saturday.
Jota has been out since October with a rib injury, while Chiesa has made just one Premier League appearance since joining on loan from Juventus in the summer. He has been out with illness following an injury.
"I think they are," said Slot when asked if the players are ready to be in the squad this weekend.
"We have one training session to go. Federico missed quite a lot for a long time, he was ill last week. We have to wait and see how he's doing.
"But maybe Diogo is in the squad and maybe Federico as well but that depends a bit on numbers and how he recovers from his illness."
Slot added: "Chiesa needs playing time and if you haven't played for five or six months it is sometimes difficult for a manager because you don't know what to expect. Yes, I see him on the training ground, but ideally you see him in a friendly during the week or an U21 game. But that's not the situation we have.
"Maybe the Southampton game might be a good moment for him to get some playing minutes. We know his qualities but he needs to get his fitness level and training sessions are not the same as playing time."
Liverpool go to Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
