Meanwhile, Leicester will still be without James Maddison for the trip to Anfield, with the midfielder ruled out with a knee injury.
Dennis Bright is also a confirmed absentee, having been forced off during the Foxes’ home defeat by Newcastle United on Boxing Day.
Rodgers reported fitness concerns when he spoke to the media for the contest review on Wednesday, despite Ryan Bertrand, Jonny Evans, James Justin and Ricardo Pereira being sidelined.
“Pretty much the same identity; what he expects of his former team,” Rodgers said.
“And obviously playing at home – home or away – they want to create and score goals. It’s always a tough game, no one knows that better than me at Anfield.
“But it’s a big challenge. Given Newcastle’s disappointment for us, it was disappointing but there are challenges to overcome and this is a great opportunity for us to get out there in a great game.”
