Jurgen Klopp has revealed another major injury headache ahead of the Mersey derby, with Thiago looking certain to miss the showdown.
Liverpool boss Klopp explained that his influential midfielder has not trained because of an issue with his hip flexor muscles, which makes him a major doubt for the game which is pivotal to both teams’ season. But the Reds manager did hint that skipper Jordan Henderson has benefited from a mini break after being left on the bench for the last four matches...and should return to lead the team against Everton.
Thiago has been the only figure from last season’s regular starting midfield to feature since the turn of the year, but the manager explained he is the latest in a long list of injury issues this season. "Thiago has some problems, hip flexor, stuff like this so he was not able to train.”
