Liverpool will not be allowed to sign a goalkeeper on loan for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Everton.
With Pepe Reina and Alexander Doni serving bans, manager Kenny Dalglish had hoped to bring in cover for third-choice Brad Jones.
But Premier League regulations only allow a move when injury, rather than suspension, affects a squad.
The untried Danny Ward, 18, or 17-year-old Tyrell Belford are likely to be named as substitute at Wembley.
Reina is serving a three-match ban for his dismissal in the defeat by Newcastle United, while reserve goalkeeper Doni is banned after being sent off in Tuesday's 3-2 win at Blackburn Rovers.
Dalglish insisted he had "no problem whatsoever" with the prospect of selecting Australian Jones, who has made just three appearances since signing for £2.3m from Middlesbrough in August 2010.
