Liverpool will be without vice captain Trent Alexander-Arnold for the Carabao Cup final, but Ibrahima Konate is likely to be fit.
The defensive pair both came off injured as Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night.
Konate left in the 111st minute of the penalty shoot-out defeat, while Alexander-Arnold was seen emotionally covering his face when he came off in the 73rd.
Updating the media ahead of the final, head coach Arne Slot said: "Trent is indeed not available, he will not be there at the final.
"He's still to be assessed for how long it's going to take but we do expect him back at the end of the season.
"About Ibou, we didn't train yesterday, we had a day off and today was recovery, but I expect him to train with us today and we'll see how he is."

The Reds now have the chance to avenge their European exit with a first trophy of the season at Wembley on Sunday against Newcastle.
Their treatment room is currently made up of four defenders with Joe Gomez and Conor Bradley also sidelined.
However, Konate’s return would bring the list down to three, although without Alexander-Arnold and Bradley they will be short at right back, where England call-up Jarell Quansah may have to fill-in.
Asked if midfielder Wataru Endo could fill in, Slot said: "Yeah, maybe Curtis [Jones] can also play there and you can also play with a left footed defender on the right side."

Newcastle are similarly hamstrung, with four first team regulars out of the tie.
Lewis Hall is out for the season after ankle surgery, while centre backs Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are unlikely to return until May.
Anthony Gordon, meanwhile, will miss the match against his boyhood club, having been sent off for lashing out at Jan Paul van Hecke during an FA Cup final defeat to Brighton.
Alexander-Arnold's injury could well be the most consequential, though, with the playmaking right back potentially playing his final game for Liverpool.
The 24-year-old is one of three impending free agents at Anfield, but hasn't discussed his future unlike Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.
That's led to intense speculation over a Real Madrid switch, with sections of the Spanish media claiming a verbal agreement has been reached.
Some fan clips appeared to show Alexander-Arnold in tears when he went down injured, and with ten games to play, that could be bad news, even though Slot expects him to return.
