Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has conceded that Thiago Alcantara will be "out for a while" as Fabinho makes his return to the starting line-up to face Everton.
Former Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago was absent from training in preparation for the Merseyside derby with a hip issue and now his boss has revealed that he will be out for an extended period.
Thiago has been ever-present for the Reds since the resumption of football following the enforced winter break due to the World Cup, replacing Fabinho at the heart of the midfield after the Brazilian suffered a dip in form. Klopp was tight-lipped on the diagnosis on the Spaniard in his pre-match press conference on Friday.
