Liverpool have to quickly get back into knock-out mode – it’s the FA Cup fifth round and Norwich are the visitors to Anfield, just a few days after our weekend League Cup win.
Thiago to miss two games at least
No Thiago, not this week. The boss reckons he could be back for the second leg against Inter though:
“He’s fine again, but not fit again,” Klopp said.
“Always, we don’t know that exactly. Weekend, not sure. Maybe Milan. After that, definitely.”
Not a problem for the FA Cup of course where he wouldn’t have played anyway in all likelihood, but he’ll be a miss against the Hammers. Hopefully this won’t be a recurring injury or one of those “back in two weeks” six-month absences.
Next up it’s Norwich
- Jurgen Klopp doesn’t want to hear about LFC going for a quadruple! He has pointed out just how hard it is to do – and we’ve picked out five things from his press conference today
- Norwich will be missing Ozan Kabak among six injury absentees for the Anfield game, while here we pick out two potential line-ups for the Reds with heavy rotation from the final
- Dean Smith is unhappy about the 500-mile round trip on a midweek night that Norwich fans face, as well as potential rescheduling issues if they progress
