Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is facing an anxious wait on the fitness of Thiago Alcantara ahead of the upcoming clash with Cardiff City.
The six-time European champions are set to welcome the Bluebirds to Anfield in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday lunchtime, with the visitors going in search of what would be a stunning and historic upset.
The Reds are already without star forwards Sadio Mane and Mo Salah, who are set to face off in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, and Klopp admits Thiago is also now a doubt for the visit of Steve Morison's men.
