Thiago Alcantara is in danger of missing both of Liverpool's Champions League knockout fixtures against Real Madrid - with the midfielder reportedly set for a prolonged period on the sidelines.
The Spaniard was not pictured in full training with the rest of his team-mates on Thursday at the AXA Training Centre, with manager Jurgen Klopp later confirming the 31-year-old had suffered an injury to his hip flexor.
However, after the injury transpired to be worse than first feared, Thiago is in danger of missing the Reds' next seven fixtures across all competitions and faces a race against the clock to bit fit for Liverpool's visit to the Santiago Bernabeu on March 15.
