Thiago injury scare for Liverpool after walking off pitch against Wolves

Thiago Alcantara is a Liverpool injury concern ahead of the Champions League final after limping out of their game with Wolves on Sunday.

The midfielder had enjoyed a fine first half at Anfield and set up Sadio Mane with a sublime back-heel for the equaliser after Pedro Neto had given the visitors an early lead.

However, the Spain international appeared to hurt himself in first-half stoppage time as he played a cross-field pass to Trent Alexander-Arnold that went out of play.

Thiago walked straight off without being replaced and immediately headed down the tunnel for further assessment. It's unclear what the injury is at this stage although Jurgen Klopp could deliver an update in his post-match press conference.

The 31-year-old was then replaced by James Milner at the break with Liverpool looking for a winner.

It throws Thiago's participation in Paris next into doubt as the Reds contest the European Cup final with Real Madrid. Liverpool are still sweating on the fitness of Fabinho for the game at the Stade de France too.
