Roberto Firmino reportedly received medical attention during Liverpool's open training session yesterday. The Reds were completing final preparations for their final Champions League group game against FC Midtjylland before their flight to Denmark.
Jurgen Klopp's side have already tied up top spot in Group D with one game to spare and Liverpool are expected to name a heavily-rotated side in Scandinavia.
They beat their opponents 2-0 in the first meeting at Anfield in November, courtesy of goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool are expected to rest several big guns at the MCH Arena ahead of this weekend's Premier League trip to Fulham.
One of the players who may get some well-earned rest is Roberto Firmino, who has played his way back into form in recent weeks.

According to the Liverpool Echo, the attacker appeared to pick up a minor problem in training at Kirkby yesterday.
The Brazilian is said to have received medical attention after complaining of discomfort in his foot.
The report adds that he did not seem in pain but Klopp will not want to take any risks ahead of a busy festive period.
It would be a real surprise if Firmino was to start tonight but he has traveled with the squad to Denmark. Takumi Minamino is in line to step in as the false-nine with Divock Origi also expected to get some rare game time.

Before Liverpool's training session, Klopp issued a positive team news update. When asked if there were any fresh injury concerns, he said: "No, which is good news! Nobody suffered any problems from the last game.
"On the other side, nobody is close enough to return to the squad."
Firmino's compatriot Alisson is expected to miss the clash as he continues to step up his recovery from a hamstring injury.
The Reds No 1 complained of tightness in the area in the second half of the 1-1 draw at Brighton.

He soldiered on though to complete the full 90 minutes and has since paid the price, missing wins over Ajax and Wolves.
Nonetheless, replacement Caoimhin Kelleher has performed admirably in his absence, keeping back-to-back clean sheets.
The young Irishman has now moved ahead of Adrian in the pecking order and is expected to start against Midtjylland.
Alisson is scheduled to return against Fulham barring any late setbacks after responding well to treatment.
