At the press conference after losing to Crystal Palace in the League Cup, Liverpool coach Slott was asked about the players' injuries. He said that Hrafenbecher has a good chance to return.

Hrafenberch sprained his ankle against Manchester United on October 19 and has been absent ever since. When asked which injured players may return against Villa, Sloter said: "I think Hrafenberch has a good chance."

"The situation of other players needs to wait until tomorrow and Friday. I am not sure about the situation of all players, but I think Hrafenberch is the most likely to return."
