Enrique may start for Reds

Left-back Jose Enrique’s knee injury will be assessed ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Sunderland.

The Spaniard has been training this week after the recurrence of a problem which has dogged him since the start of the season.

Midfielder Joe Allen has recovered from illness which disrupted his international duty while manager Brendan Rodgers is confident Luis Suarez and Sebastian Coates will be fine after international duty having travelled back from South America.

Provisional squad: Reina, Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Enrique, Sterling, Gerrard, Sahin, Allen, Suarez, Borini, Jones, Carragher, Kelly, Coates, Shelvey, Henderson, Downing.
