Sunderland, meanwhile, have been handed a clean bill of health from the squad that faced AFC Bournemouth last time out, with Noah Sadiki passed match-fit.
Regis Le Bris, though, will remain without longer-term absentees Aji Alese and Habib Diarra at Anfield.
Leo Hjelde and Dennis Cirkin also continue to build up their fitness after recently returning for the club’s U21s side following injury.
The Black Cats boss, who himself is facing up to seven of his players departing his squad ahead of AFCON, said: “We have a strong group. We don’t have any [new] injuries and the players who haven’t played much before will have opportunities to play.
“I think they can contribute as well. The group is powerful with different options. We will see.”
On facing Liverpool, he added: “It’s another game in a really special place and atmosphere.
“Even if we have a young team, they now have good experiences and they want to be competitive. Otherwise, we become spectators.
“Liverpool are strong, but at the same time we want to be competitive.”
