Liverpool will be without vice captain Trent Alexander-Arnold for the Carabao Cup final, but Ibrahima Konate is fit, talkSPORT understands.
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.
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.
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.
