Liverpool have been linked with Ben White, Dayot Upamecano and Stefan De Vrij in the January transfer window.
But coach Pep Lijnders says Jurgen Klopp is much more likely to turn to the club's youngsters as he looks to plug gaps in the depleted defence.
Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams have already had chances to impress with first-choice centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez sidelined by long-term injuries.
And Lijnders told Liverpool's official website : "It’s always like this. But some devastating moments create life-changing moments for other players.
"We have so much faith in our young blood, in the players we brought up, our own players.
“These moments where you lose a top, top player automatically creates a big chance for a young player. We invest a lot of time and we have a big commitment to them to be part of our squad.”
However, Liverpool will wait to see how December goes before making a final decision on signing reinforcements, according to journalist Duncan Castles.
He said on The Transfer Window Podcast : “My information is that they’re waiting to see what happens for this last month before the January window opens before committing to that strategy that Jurgen Klopp would like of bringing in a quality centre-back to compensate for the loss of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, or whether to brazen it out to the end of the season.”
