JAKARTA - Liverpool failed to secure the Premier League title for the 2021/2022 season and are trying to focus on chasing the Champions League trophy. However, as the saying goes, it has fallen down the stairs. Liverpool's defeat was accompanied by an injury to Thiago Alcantara.

In the top Premier League match between Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday night, Thiago only played in the first half. After that, he was pulled out to be replaced by James Milner.

At the moment of respect for the fans at the end of the match, Thiago was still able to come into the middle of the field. However, at this moment, Thiago's right ankle is seen wrapped in bandages.

Jurgen Klopp as Liverpool coach had said that the midfielder's condition was not too good.

"Not great, but I can't say more than this. He's outside with his family and with his little daughter on his shoulders, so he can walk and that's a good sign of course."

"Besides that, everything will be known tomorrow (Monday)," Klopp said in a press conference session, quoted from the Liverpool Echo.

When asked about Thiago, Klopp did not want to talk about the player's injury. He just asked everyone to be patient for a follow-up examination from the club's medical team.

"His lower body. I know that but I don't want to talk about it right now. We'll all see. Give us a chance."

We are awaiting further assessment of the injury that forced Thiago off the pitch during today's 3-1 win over Wolves.

"It will not make the news better or worse. We want to wait until we find out more about the injury and you will be able to get the right information," Klopp said.

Thiago's situation will more or less make Klopp have to rack his brain. The coach really wants all the players in a fit condition.

Each player will be an important concern for Klopp, because the coach must prepare the squad as well and as much as possible to win the Champions League title. Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Sunday, 29 May.
