Jurgen Klopp has admitted he is currently unsure if Jordan Henderson and Divock Origi will feature in the Europa League final against Sevilla.
Captain Henderson has battled back speedily from lateral collateral ligament damage in his knee, while the Belgian striker has also recovered quicker than anticipated from an ankle injury.
And the pair are now pushing to play a part in the continental showpiece at St Jakob-Park in Basel on May 18.
Klopp is also considering the option of fielding Danny Ings in the club’s final Premier League game of the season at West Brom on Sunday.
Ings, who has been tireless in his rehabilitation from a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, is hoping to return before the clash at the Hawthorns.
The England forward would not be able to line up in Basel regardless, as he was not registered for the knockout stages of the tournament due to his injury.
“Three players might come back, we have to see. I haven’t made final decisions,” Klopp said at Melwood on Friday.
“We have to see if Danny Ings, in the circumstances, is ready for West Brom.
“Divock and Hendo – Hendo did a little bit more but they are both in a good way.
“We have to see what happens in the next days. In the end, it’s not my decision. I am used to taking what I get, in this situation especially.
“We have to wait but they are pretty close; if the final was one week later, now we [would] talk. It will be close. We have to wait.”
