Thiago Alcantara will not play for Liverpool again this season due to requiring surgery on a hip injury.
The decision has been made for the Spaniard to go under the knife and he will therefore be unavailable for Liverpool's remaining matches of the Premier League campaign against Fulham, Brentford, Leicester City, Aston Villa and Southampton.
The 32-year-old has already missed a significant number of games this campaign due to a variety of issues. He spent six weeks on the sidelines after pulling up with a hamstring issue during August's trip to Fulham before being ruled out for two months between February and April due to a hip flexor problem.
