UCL FINAL: Liverpool Becomes More Confident As Key Player May Return From Injury

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp has revealed that injured Thiago Alcantara has a “strong chance” of playing in Liverpool’s Champions League final against Real Madrid.

The midfielder was injured in the final Premier League match of the season against Wolves on Sunday.

However, Klopp has revealed that the 31-year-old will return to training on Thursday, giving the Reds a big boost.

Klopp said during a press conference when asked about the midfielder’s fitness, “I only just met him now inside. There’s a good chance.

“He will be training this afternoon. He did some stuff this morning. It was not planned that he was doing this session with the players this morning, but it looks like he can be part of [team] training tomorrow. That would be really helpful!

“We hope he can. It is surprisingly good. After the [Wolves] game I was not really positive about it, but then we got that news overnight that it was not bad.

“So we will see. I can imagine everybody thinks now it is three days before the game and he is not training, but we just have to be sure that we do the right stuff in the right moment.”
