Trent Alexander-Arnold is on schedule to be suitable for the Merseyside Derby and will train on Tuesday after a dijing injury.
Mail Sport reported last week how England's full back focused on this fixture after he sustained a thigh injury in Liverpool's victory over Bournemouth fourteen days ago.
Conor Bradley has made admirable Deputten and it is a company 50/50 or the Northern Irish or Alexander-Arnold De Knik for Wednesday's trip to Everton.
But lock has confirmed that the vice-captain is back in training and is contrary to playing them risking him.
“Trent did parts of training sessions with us yesterday, so let's see how he is today,” said the boss.
“Hopefully he will train with us and then we have to decide if we will take him to the game.”
Slot has been careful this season with players and did not push them too far, so he could decide to give Bradley another start after he was equipped for the trip to Plymouth on Sunday.
However, one decision was taken out of his hands, with the center back Joe Gomez does not fit after limping after just 10 minutes of the game in Devon.
“Joe is the same leg as last time, but he will certainly not be available for the game tomorrow,” said Slot. “That is definitely a concern.”
The Englishman had recently returned from a hamstring injury that suffered just after Christmas, so this is a disappointing blow to Gomez.
