Andy Robertson rarely gets the chance to rest given that he is the Reds only recognised left-back.
Veteran James Milner has been known to fill in whenever necessary but Liverpool are eyeing something more sustainable.
Youngsters Yasser Larouci and Adam Lewis are also knocking on the first team door.

Sky Sports reporter Vinnie O'Connor has confirmed there is interest from the European champions.
"He's 18 and has already impressed in the Premier League and the likelihood is his value will rise," he said during a recent Q&A.
"It makes sense for Liverpool to be looking at that kind of player particularly given he's only contracted to Arsenal until 2021.
"However, would he get the regular game time at Liverpool that he's getting now? Probably not.
"So whether there's interest or not I certainly do not see this happening this summer, while Arsenal will continue doing what they can to ensure he stays beyond 2021."
