Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez says Spanish striker Fernando Torres is likely to be involved in the game against his former club Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.
Torres has been out for five matches with a hamstring injury he suffered while on international duty with Spain.
“Hopefully he will be ready,” said Benitez on the club’s official website.
“If he cannot start the game then he will be on the bench if everything is okay.
“Clearly when you have a striker with the quality and potential of Torres, and he is available, it’s a very good option.
“We have an important match against Atletico Madrid and having Fernando starting or on the bench is a good option for us.
“Clearly he really wants to play as he hasn’t played for a while. And he was very frustrated not to play in the first game against them.”
