Liverpool is without key players Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt and Raul Meireles, as well as injured duo Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, for Thursday's Europa League match against Steaua.
Liverpool coach Roy Hodgson said Wednesday he still hoped his team would be good enough to win the away match. It defeated Steaua 4-1 in the first match between the two clubs.
The team trained at Steaua Bucharest's icy pitch Wednesday in freezing rain.
Liverpool's Ryan Babel wrote on Twitter he was preparing for an "ice skate training session" on the pitch. "Arrived in a dark cold place," Babel also wrote about Romania.
