Bailey is back in training but manager Steven Gerrard says the winger will not be in the squad to face Leeds.
“We’ve now got Leon Bailey back in full training, but he won’t be in the squad tomorrow," said Gerrard.

“Besides that, we are fully fit and ready to go.”
Leeds have a number of players unavailble tomorrow with Patrick Bamford not making progress in trying to recover from a concerning foot problem but Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper and Junior Firpo (all hamstring) are expected to return in the next couple of weeks.
Jamie Shackleton, Adam Forshaw and Charlie Cresswell are all available again.
