Liverpool hope to have Steven Gerrard back in their squad for tomorrow afternoon's Premiership home battle with Spurs.
Gerrard missed the wins in Leeds and Moscow with a hip injury acquired while playing for England the previous week. But he was back in training late this week.
Also expected to be clear of a thigh injury is French midfielder Bruno Cheyrou, who travelled to Moscow but was ruled out for the Champions League match with Spartak. Emile Heskey, with a slight groin problem, should also be fit to play.
Elsewhere, Rio Ferdinand is the most likely of Manchester United's walking wounded to return against Aston Villa at Old Trafford tomorrow.
The defender has missed the last three weeks following knee surgery but is close to full fitness again and would be a certain starter if he gets the all-clear.
Top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy (hamstring) and Nicky Butt (ankle) are again doubtful after missing the midweek trip to Olympiakos, but stand-in skipper David Beckham should play despite being troubled by a niggling hamstring problem.
