Liverpool star missed the entire season due to a hip injury. Due to a hip injury, Thiago Alcantara, a midfielder for Liverpool, will miss the remainder of the campaign. After sitting out for two months, the midfielder made his comeback to the pitch last month.
This season, Thiago has played in 28 games across all competitions, contributing one assist. Thiago has been injured a lot since joining from Bayern Munich in 2020. He has currently played 97 times for the team, tallying three goals and six assists.
There is no disputing the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich midfielder’s incredible technical talent, even though injury setbacks have always been a concern for him during his career. Therefore, Liverpool might suffer a great deal if they are without him for the rest of the season.
The Reds are now attempting to clinch a top-four Premier League position. However, Jurgen Klopp’s team faces a challenging task. Having played one more game than Manchester United, they have 56 points from 33 games and are seven points behind the Red Devils in fourth position.
Jurgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, commented on Fulham’s performance:
On Wednesday, May 3, Liverpool will play Fulham in a Premier League match at Anfield. On their return to the English top division, the Cottagers have enjoyed a successful season. They have 45 points after 33 games, which puts them in 10th place.
Prior to their match, Klopp praised the London-based team’s performance. Before the Fulham match, he stated (via the Reds’ website) to the media: “Fantastic season, fantastic football play by Marco Silva. We congratulated each other after he won Manager of the Year from the Championship last year while we were in London. He is an excellent colleague and a very smart man; what he did there is incredible. Although they are still working hard, the results may not be as evident as they once were.”
As Klopp went on: “Injuries right now, but it’s really interesting how he organizes the team, how they play, and the guys they added. We are aware of how wonderful they are because they have developed a, really, really good side, especially if we allow them to. The first task is to ensure they are unable to perform at their peak.”
Liverpool must defeat Fulham to advance in the race for a Champions League spot. The Cottagers, on the other hand, will be hoping for a victory at Anfield to break their recent losing store
