Alberto Aquilani could make his first league start for Liverpool against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Saturday.
Aquilani, a £20million summer signing from Roma, has yet to start a Premier League game for Liverpool, having battled to overcome an ankle injury.
Despite his recovery from that injury, Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has perplexed fans by his refusal to play the Italian more. But with Javier Mascherano currently injured and suspended, Aquilani could be asked to fill in.
Benitez said: "Alberto picked up a calf injury in the win against Wigan and was not able to travel to Portsmouth.

Benitez said: "Alberto picked up a calf injury in the win against Wigan and was not able to travel to Portsmouth.
"He is getting better but we will have to see how he progresses. He is certainly in contention to play against Wolves."
There was speculation that Aquilani was due to fly to Belgrade this week for treatment from the same specialist, Mariana Kovacevic, who has been used to treat Glen Johnson, Yossi Benayoun and Albert Riera.But bad weather put paid to flights to the Serbian capital and Benitez confirmed: "Alberto was with us all week, working with our physios."
Aquilani's first appearance for Liverpool was as a substitute in the 2-1 defeat by Arsenal in the Carling Cup on October 28. He made his first start for the club against Fiorentina in the Champions League, a game they lost 2-1 on December 9.
