Emi Martínez, Ollie Watkins and Robin Olsen all face late fitness tests ahead of Aston Villa’s Premier League clash against Southampton.
The trio will each be assessed prior to Friday night’s encounter against Saints, while Villa will be without loanee Jan Bednarek against his parent club.
Leander Dendoncker comes back into contention having missed the 1-1 draw against Manchester City last time out due to a throat complaint.
Head coach Steven Gerrard provided a fitness update at Thursday’s pre-match media conference.
“We’ve got a few issues that we need to make late calls on,” he said.
“Ollie Watkins was a little bit unwell at the beginning of the week, we’ll make a late call on Ollie.
“Emi Martínez missed training today and we also had Robin Olsen out of training today.
“That doesn’t mean they won’t be available tomorrow but again we’ll have to make sensible decisions on both.
“Obviously Jan isn’t available because Southampton are his parent club.
“Outside of that, everyone’s good to go.”
Gerrard added: “Emi just hasn’t been feeling too good overnight.
“I don’t think it’s a big issue so we’ve had him in front of the doctor, given him some medicine to hopefully make him feel better in the coming hours.
“I’ve got no doubt he’ll put through, I think he’ll be available.”
