Timeline between 4-6 weeks Thiago (hamstring) is expected to be out between four and six weeks, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Thiago is good but the injury is not good. I read 4-6 weeks [out]. I would...

Impact This isn't too informative on the injury for Thiago, but he'll be out at least a month. Given his injury history, it doesn't seem like a four-week injury unless it's a simply strain. Harvey Elliott came on for Thiago on the opener, but Naby Keita will be available going forward after he missed the first match with an illness.

Facing lengthy absence Thiago (hamstring) is facing up to six weeks out with a hamstring injury, according to James Pearce of The Athletic.

Impact Thiago is set for yet another extended period on the injury table with a hamstring injury suffered during the second half of Saturday's two-all draw with Fulham. Thiago missed over half of the 2021/22 season with multiple injuries and seems to be set for another lengthy absence. This is becoming a recurring theme for Thiago, one of the most creative players in the Liverpool squad, but constantly injured. Harvey Elliott is a likely replacement in the starting XI, despite his young age the attacking midfielder has shown flashes of brilliance, headlined by seven goals and 11 assists in his last fully healthy season, with Blackburn Rovers.

Comes off with injury Alcantara came off with an injury early in the second half and had one interception in Saturday's 2-2 tie versus Fulham.

Impact Thiago had a quiet first half before an injury early in the second half forced him off in favor of Harvey Elliott. Thiago is an immensely creative player when in the starting XI but injury troubles have kept him off the pitch more often than Liverpool would like. The extent of this injury is uncertain but Elliott is a likely replacement for Monday's clash with Crystal Palace.

Impact Alcantara was an injury doubt heading into Saturday's game, but a 36-minute delay due to fan ticket issues gave him additional time to warm up before the match. He lasted 77 minutes on the pitch, but it wasn't enough to lead Liverpool to victory in what would have been his third ever Champions League victory with three different clubs.

In starting XI Saturday Thiago (calf) is in the starting XI for Saturday's UCL final against Real Madrid.

Impact After a positive week for Thiago, he was trending toward making the starting XI, though he's definitely at risk of being an early substitute and it's hard to see him going a full 90. Only a week ago he couldn't make it one half against Wolves and it's an issue that's been bugging him before that. No matter, his presence on the pitch is a definite boost for Liverpool in the final.

Looks good ahead of final Thiago (calf) is in the traveling squad and "looks good" for Saturday's Champions League Final against Real Madrid, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Looks good for Thiago, he tr...

Impact In the club's last six contests, Thiago has featured in three of those matches, racking up two assists, six shots (one on target) and seven tackles (five won) along the way. At this point, it still seems unlikely the midfielder will jump right into the starting XI coming off his calf injury, but he'll have a couple days of training in him ahead of Saturday, so there's a slight chance he gets the call.

Good chance for UCL final Thiago (calf) has "a good chance" to be ready for Saturday's UCL final, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "He did some stuff this morning, it was not planned that he was doing thi...

Impact This isn't the expected update on Thiago after he wasn't training with the team Wednesday morning, but apparently that was planned and he'll be back with the group in upcoming sessions. It's still hard to see him starting Saturday, but for now, it appears there's a chance if he can get in a couple good sessions. If he can't go, Naby Keita is most likely to get the start next to Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.

MAY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In limited training Thiago (calf) is "doing a light session in the gym" Wednesday ahead of Saturday's UCL final, reports James Pearce of The Athletic.

Impact Thiago is a massive doubt for Saturday and there's no reason to expect him to start against Real Madrid. It's been a nagging injury for him the last couple weeks and he couldn't play through the issue in Sunday's league finale, which doesn't bode well for his status less than a week later in the Champions League final.

Impact More details about Thiago's injury will likely emerge after Sunday's game or in the coming days. He was replaced by James Milner in midfield, and he now has about a week to recover before the Champions League Final. He finishes his second Premier League season with one goal and five assists in 25 appearances (17 starts) in the competition.

Impact Thiago was the creative threat through the middle for Liverpool, making a variety of dangerous passes to the front three. The midfielder hasn't been a major fantasy producer so far, but has shown his obvious brilliance. He will be starting once more against Manchester United on Sunday.
