Phil Thompson has labelled Liverpool’s current midfield ‘a bit light’ but urged caution in any last-minute summer business.
The Reds lost Thiago to a hamstring strain in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Fulham, with Sunday’s scan revealing the Spaniard will be out for a number of weeks. He will join Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the treatment room, while Naby Keita also missed the weekend's draw through illness.
The Guinea international is expected back for Monday’s game against Crystal Palace, but the pile up of injuries within the midfield at such an early stage in the season has caused concern around Merseyside that Liverpool are a little light. But Thiago’s second-half replacement, Harvey Elliott, produced another dynamic and promising stint in midfield and Reds legend Thompson has urged fans to remain calm in the final weeks of the window.
