Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders is confident they can cover Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The fullback is facing three weeks out due to a knee injury.
Lijnders said: "We have many weapons. There's no irreplaceable... Mo goes away, Jota steps up, if the best players are not there and you play really well [like] in the second half against Arsenal then that's a good sign. That's a really good sign. That's what we have always done. We don't rely on one, two or three or four players. We're missing probably four or five core players from our leadership group Robbo [Andy Robertson], Trent, Mo. So yeah, missing three from the leaders.
"That's a blow, of course, and he [Alexander-Arnold] creates a lot of flexibility from the back. He can play passes that the forwards really like to receive. He has verticality, he knows how to decide games and he always sniffs when to put balls where.
"The squad has a lot of other qualities, in my opinion, but for sure we need to find new dynamics. We always do that. It's a difference if Wata [Endo] plays, for example, or Alexis [Mac Allister] plays in the six. You find different dynamics. We always search to become better or to evolve the game or to become a more complete team. You see what players you have and you try to build around that.
"It's different if Darwin plays striker or plays on the left wing, or if Jota plays striker. We always search in this way and now we have to find solutions without Trent as well. But again, this squad has so much talent, so much power. We always say as long as counter-pressing is there, everything else is replaceable!"
