Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is staying tight-lipped over Andy Carroll's planned debut.
Carroll could make his first Reds appearance against Manchester United on Sunday.
Speaking after defeat at West Ham United, Dalglish said: "He's better than bang on schedule.
"We never pencilled in a date when Andy's going to play. As soon as he's okay we'll get him involved. Whether that's next week, the week after or after that, we'll just have to wait and see. There is nothing that has happened since he came in that's had an adverse effect on his progress."
