Henderson and Doni could also feature against Hull
Stewart Downing, Jordan Henderson and Alexander Doni could make their Liverpool debuts this weekend.
The trio have all arrived at Anfield this summer and manager Kenny Dalglish has revealed they are in contention for Saturday's pre-season friendly against Hull City.
Doni and Downing did not sign for Liverpool in time to join the club's recent tour of the Far East, while Henderson did not travel after participating in England's Under 21 European Championship campaign.
Dalglish could offer the trio a chance against Hull, but, with a first game of the Premier League season against Sunderland moving ever closer, he does not want to push any players.
No rush
"We will have a look at them and decide what's best," the Liverpool boss told the club's
official website. "There is certainly no rush for us to play anyone in these pre-season games.
"Stewart has been training for a fortnight and Jordan only started training on Monday.
"Everyone has trained well this week and the players are looking in good shape. Nowadays they come back looking as fit as they were before the break.
"But some have started back later than others and we have to take that into consideration.
"It's a pre-season game and we will treat it as such. We need to use these games to give as much benefit to as many players as we can."
