Thiago Alcantara

It's Tchoumani all the way. Maybe two of that ilk.

We definitely need a bit of a refresh in the middle of the park.

Reports flying about that he has choosen Madrid over us

[Doc_Piptorious]

Well it's actually Saturday's problem and a huge one at that. He is utterly essential to how we function in the midfield and with Fab an unknown it's a massive blow for us.

**** it, you're right. Thiago without a scan is defo out. Fabinho who is back in training is defo out. VVD did not play today so he must be out.

We have zero chance let's not bother flying over and just give Real a bye.

In context of beating City...

We desperately need reinforcing our midfield.

Keita is a bit inconisistent.
Hendo is fading
Milner is just a bitt too slow now
Jones is not ready yet
Ox is done
Elliott I feel is a forward

Fabino and Thiago are both top class, and I fesl we need one more player of that level who has an engine on them and can pick a pass. Keita is perfect to bring in as a 4th choice. Hendo can do a job Milner style. Then we just need a backup to Fab

Jones will hopefully be ready to step up in a couple of seasons.

No a hamstring would not be right in a week, but we do not know for sure what the damage is yet.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst is where we are with him.

And it is tomorrow's problem.

I'm drunk and emotional, but there's no way he plays next week.

I know it's easy with hindsight, but he was the one fit player we really should have wrapped in cotton wool today. **** me. It's unbelievable. With Fab touch and go, and Thiago now surely out, it's a colossal blow, especially against their midfield of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro.

Seems likely he'll be out for th CL final. Last week or so it seems like injuries have caught up with us.

[Doc_Piptorious]

You only had to look at his face. Hammers don't fix themselves in a week.

Is he deffo out?

Nobody can answer that yet thankfully. We will know maybe tomorrow or the day after when Klopp does a presser.

Is he deffo out?

[danperkins]

It's devastating and absolutely huge for Madrid.
