Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is refusing to rule Charlie Adam out for the rest of the season.
Reports had suggested the former Blackpool man would miss the rest of the campaign after picking up a knee injury in the Reds’ 3-2 defeat at QPR.
However, Dalglish says the Scotland midfielder is resting before the club’s medical staff reassess the injury.
"We know Charlie has strained knee ligaments but we still don't know how long he will be out," Dalglish told reporters.
"He hasn't had an operation and as it stands he's not having one.
"It's only been a week since he did it. He needs to rest it for another 10 days or so and then he will be reassessed.
"We'll see how he is then and we'll be in a better position to know when he will be back playing.
"We haven't ruled him out for the rest of the season. We're just waiting to see how he progresses."
The Merseyside outfit have had to contend with a number of injury worries of late, with Craig Bellamy, Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger and Martin Kelly all suffering knocks.
Dalglish is remaining optimistic about those receiving treatment though, and is hopeful they will be ready for a return this Sunday for the trip to Newcastle.
He continued: "They are all making progress.
"They are all training to various degrees and we will monitor them throughout the week.
