• Gerrard, Torres and Johnson have until Sunday to get fit
• Riera, Kelly and Kyrgiakos all ruled out of Manchester United clash
Liverpool boss Rafael Benítez will give his injured trio of Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Glen Johnson every chance to prove their fitness ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against Manchester United.
Gerrard is the biggest concern of those suffering from groin injuries, but he received treatment today, and that will continue right up until the match at Anfield.
Torres and Johnson are much closer to being confirmed in the starting line-up to face United, but winger Albert Riera (hamstring) and defenders Martin Kelly (ankle) and Sotirios Kyrgiakos (knee) are out.
Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani, who played for the reserves on Wednesday, will not be considered.
Liverpool provisional squad: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Aurélio, Insúa, Mascherano, Babel, Lucas, Kuyt, Benayoun, Gerrard, Torres, Voronin, Ngog, Spearing, Plessis, Dossena, Cavalieri.
