Curtis Jones is the only Liverpool player expected to miss Sunday's trip to Turf Moor with Arne Slot otherwise boasting a clean bill of health ahead of the clash with Burnley.
Jones may well have been in Slot's plans to start against the newly-promoted Clarets having not been called up for international duty with England this past week. But the 24-year-old picked up an injury in Liverpool's last fixture, the 1-0 win against Arsenal, which is likely to sideline him for a couple of weeks.
Slot said at his pre-match press conference: “Curtis Jones, I don’t know if you knew, got injured in the last game. So he will not be available for the game against Burnley.
“But I think the rest of them came back without a problem, and that’s not always the situation.
“Especially at the beginning of the season where everybody comes from a different background, going to the national team where they then all of a sudden have to play two games in four or five days, which is always the biggest risk.
"In October, November and March they are much more used to that programme."
Slot has been boosted by the return to fitness of summer signing Jeremie Frimpong and is expected to be in the squad after training this week.
The right-back suffered a hamstring injury in the opening Premier League game of the season against Bournemouth and has not featured for his new club since.
But the Dutchman was deemed fit enough to train this week and was all smiles at Kirkby.
Frimpong was left out of Netherlands' squad as he continued his recovery, though he may only earn a place on Liverpool's bench given the recent form of Dominik Szoboszlai who has deputised superbly in his absence and grabbed the winner versus Arsenal.
It will also be the first time Slot can call upon the services of new club-record signing Alexander Isak following his transfer from Newcastle. Isak has not played club football at all this season having been on strike at St James' Park prior to his move to Anfield going through on deadline day.
Isak was called up by Sweden boss Jon Dahl Tomasson for their World Cup qualifiers last week, but was left on the bench in their 2-2 draw in Slovenia before coming on as a 72nd-minute substitute in the 2--0 defeat to Kosovo.
Isak's only real notable action was earning a yellow card less than 10 minutes after coming on and his lack of action means he will almost certainly have to make do with a spot on Liverpool's bench to face Burnley.
Slot did praise Tomasson for not throwing Isak in as a starter in both games given his lack of match fitness.
"We are happy that they are fit," Slot said. "Compliment not only to the Swedish manager but also the others, because a few others like Ryan Gravenberch only started one game and not both of them.”
