Liverpool vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold is facing two weeks out.
Alexander-Arnold was an early withdrawal in Saturday’s eventual 2-0 win over Aston Villa with a suspected hamstring injury midway through the first half.
Arne Slot revealed post-match that he anticipated the full-back to withdraw from England’s squad for their Nations League encounters later this month.
But the Reds have been boosted by news that Alexander-Arnold avoided serious injury and is currently set to spend only a fortnight on the sidelines.
His involvement for their game at Southampton after November’s international break has not been discounted depending on his recovery from the issue.
Slot’s side face Real Madrid in the Champions League before another home clash against title rivals Manchester City after their trip to the South Coast.
