“It’s not good, but we’ll see,” Klopp said after Thiago had been sent off at Fulham. The Spaniard underwent a scan on Sunday and Liverpool will be hoping to have caught the injury early, meaning a couple of weeks out, rather than four or more.
More worrying, however, is the fact that this is a pattern with the gifted midfielder. He missed 14 games in his first Premier League season and 13 in his last season.
When he’s fit, he’s a game-changer for the Reds, so his absence will always be sorely felt.
