Liverpool fans are all somewhere on cloud nine on Monday, following the club picking up another piece of silverware with a dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Chelsea at Wembley.
Thiago injury update
One player who missed out on the Wembley occasion at the last minute was Thiago Alcantara, taken injured during the warm-up and replaced by Naby Keita in the line-up.
The No6 was sadly left in tears on the bench and his injury is reported as a “tight hamstring”, with the Reds set to monitor his fitness level over the next few days.
He’s naturally a doubt for Norwich in midweek – not a likely starter there anyway – and the big questions will be over whether he can return for West Ham, Inter Milan or beyond.
