Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho could miss the Reds' Saturday clash at Tottenham with a hamstring injury.
The Brazilian playmaker felt tightness in the muscle in the wake of Liverpool's 2-0 defeat at Burnley last weekend, and was out of Jurgen Klopp's side in the team's 5-0 midweek thrashing of Burton Albion in the EFL Cup.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Klopp said he will not be risky with the former Inter Milan man's health.
"The muscle was a little stiff," Klopp said. "He felt something so we didn't want to take a risk [against Burton].
"We left him out of training until now. We have to make a decision on Friday with what we can do with him.
"It is not a situation to take any risk. We have to talk to the player.
"From the medical side, it is not a big issue, but it was big enough to leave him out of the squad for Burton."
Klopp expressed confidence Liverpool have the depth to cope should Coutinho not be fit in time for the match.
"Yes, we still have options," Klopp added. "Adam Lallana can play there, Roberto Firmino can play there, Sadio Mane is back and he can play there ... on the wing if you want!
"Usually, Sheyi Ojo could play there but he has not been fit for a few weeks.
"We have different players for that position but when two of them are not available you have a little bit of a problem.
"That is what football is. We are not allowed to have a squad of 28 players but we still have options."
