Arne Slot has already named two players whom he might call upon to strengthen his backline.
Giovanni Leoni suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Southampton in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday night.
The 18-year-old defender was enjoying a promising debut at Anfield before he was stretchered off the pitch.
However, Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate have had their own injury issues in the past, and they continue to face somewhat uncertain futures at Anfield.
The former attracted attention from AC Milan and Brighton and Hove Albion during the summer transfer window, while the latter has recently entered the final year of his contract.
The Scotland international operated at centre-half against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League last term.
That said, Slot has already highlighted two alternative options.
I played as a centre-back when I played in Japan, so I don't mind which position I play, and I just give 100% every time."
Meanwhile, speaking during a live question and answer event in his hometown of Kanagawa, as quoted by Soccer Digest, he said: "I think there's a high possibility that I'll play in various positions in the future, so I think it'll be fine if we can carry that over to the next stage."
With Leoni poised to be sidelined for several months, Liverpool may reconsider their pursuit of Guehi come January.
