Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has issued an injury update on Thiago Alcantara as the player suffered a knee problem during the Reds draw with Everton, the same game when Virgil van Dijk also suffered an injury.
Jurgen Klopp's side are preparing to face Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday, December 1st.
Ahead of the game, Klopp said: "Thiago we have to maybe clarify it a little bit.
"On that day when Thiago got injured in that challenge in the Everton game, there was another bad injury [to Virgil van Dijk] and after the scans it was like one was really bad news and the other one was really good news because nothing was broken, nothing was ruptured and stuff like this.
"But, as we realise now, it was still a massive impact on the knee.
"The problem is in a situation like that, nothing is ruptured and nothing is broken and that means everybody thinks, 'OK, you can go after a few days’, but the impact on the leg was that big that it is still not OK.
"It is not massive and he trains from time to time, not in the moment because we just have to realise that we have to go a few further steps.
"I can’t say exactly when he will be fine, but it will take a few weeks still with Thiago."
