NewsLFC Women injury update: Latest on Grace Fisk, Sam Kerr and more
Liverpool FC Women head coach Gareth Taylor is continuing to assess the fitness of his squad ahead of Saturday's visit to face Arsenal.
The Reds return to Barclays Women's Super League action in a 12pm GMT kick-off at Emirates Stadium following the recent international break.
Captain Grace Fisk picked up a calf issue while away with England and there are also several other issues Taylor must monitor.
"We're just trying to get in as much information as we can, as you can imagine with this game being brought forward to a Saturday," he told his pre-match press conference.
"It gives us limitations on training. With everyone recovering today and with some of them playing on Tuesday we have a few little issues to tidy up before we can completely know for certain who we have.
"With Fisky, she has unfortunately suffered an injury away with England. This game will be too soon for her. We're hoping as the week progresses that we could potentially get her closer to it.
"It's just a couple of other real niggles that we are nursing a little bit on-pitch and off-pitch today. Tomorrow we'll know exactly what we have.
"There's no doubt we are a little bit light even before all the injuries, but now they're starting to tot up a little bit, which can be frustrating, especially with Fisky because you think those type of ones would be avoidable.
"I think more for Fisky as our captain as well is the football she has been playing recently has been exceptional. We've had to use her in various positions. We know her best position is right-sided centre-back and we were able to play her there once this season against Durham. I think she's done great at right-back and left-sided centre-back.
"Obviously losing a player of that calibre and those leadership qualities is a blow but it gives others opportunities to step up."
Asked about the fitness of Sam Kerr after she pulled out of the Scotland squad, he added: "Unfortunately she was playing for a few weeks with a back issue, which is a strange one, because it's a slight stress fracture.
"She was feeling some discomfort from that, and it's usually something that occurs in younger players. No disrespect to Sam! We've had that joke with her… usually those types of injuries come from growth spurts.
"She was pushing through the pain barrier against Brighton and against Chelsea. We had it scanned and found an issue which is something you can't continue playing with. We need to obviously offload her and similar to Fisky and others it's a blow because Sam has been really vital to what we're doing."
