'I'm hearing' - Jamie Carragher makes major Thiago Alcantara fitness admission at Liverpool

Jamie Carragher is hopeful Thiago Alcantara will be fit to play in the Champions League final against Real Madrid as Liverpool face an anxious wait over his fitness.

The Spaniard was forced off with an Achilles injury during the win over Wolves on the final day of the season leaving the Reds to sweat over his fitness as they look to win their seventh European crown in Paris on Saturday. Carragher revealed that there is a "50/50" chance that the midfielder could feature against Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Fabinho is also a concern ahead of the showpiece final after he withdrew in the first-half during Liverpool's win over Aston Villa and has missed the previous three. But the 44-year-old is mildly confident that Thiago will feature in a 'boost' for their chances.
