Thiago Alcantara has sent a message to Liverpool supporters after Jurgen Klopp revealed he was fit for selection for Saturday's Champions League final.
Thiago limped off injured during the 3-1 victory over Wolves at Anfield on Sunday. The midfielder was again impressive and set up Sadio Mane with a sublime back-heel for the equaliser after Pedro Neto had given the visitors an early lead.
The former Barcelona star appeared to hurt himself in first-half stoppage time as he played a cross-field pass to Trent Alexander-Arnold that went out of play. It appeared, at the time, the Spanish international would face a race against time to be fit for tomorrow night’s game.

But speaking at the Stade de France on Friday afternoon, Reds boss Klopp confirmed Thiago will be fit for the game. He said: “Yeah, looks good for both. Fabinho trained completely normal. Thiago trained yesterday with the team, will train today and then we go from there.”
And taking to Twitter on Friday night, Thiago wrote: “PARIS. UCL FINAL. @LFC.”
Speaking on the game, Reds boss Klopp said on Friday: “So, if I would do now something surprising for my players, for example, then they could think I’m nervous; if I pull now a rabbit out of the hat and these kind of things.
“I believe when you do the right stuff all the time then it is the right thing to do in the final as well. But, it has to be on the highest level possible.
“We obviously played some really, really good stuff this season, we are not here by surprise or we got a ticket or something like that – we deserved it as well.
“So, being us on the highest level would be cool. If we could do that then, as I said, we are a really uncomfortable opponent. A really uncomfortable opponent.
“That’s what we have to be. We can talk about what Real Madrid achieved in the past and this season, how good their players are, we probably could write a book together now about this team. But we are good as well and that’s what we want to show.”
