Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is working on his recovery.
Liverpool have a dilemma at right-back after injuries to Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez.
Loaning Nathaniel Clyne to Bournemouth has since proved a serious error of judgement, with no recall clause available.
The Reds have tried a couple of makeshift solutions so far, with Jordan Henderson and James Milner filling in.
One option pending his fitness being proven could turn out to be Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Oxlade-Chamberlain played at right-back for Arsenal under Arsene Wenger, and was often preferred there to Hector Bellerin.
Liverpool spent £40 million to sign Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jurgen Klopp had great success harnessing his midfield talents, before he picked up an ACL injury.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is on the mend and has been registered in the club’s Champions League squad, The Telegraph reported.
The England international must prove his fitness like every other player, and Liverpool can’t rush him back too soon.
However if and when he is fit, and if Liverpool still need a solution at right-back, Oxlade-Chamberlain could become an unlikely saviour.
