Liverpool’s Thiago, who has been struggling with fitness issues since joining the club from Bayern Munich in 2020, will not be playing in the team’s remaining five Premier League games due to a hip injury.
The midfielder has not started a game since early April and has only made four substitute appearances since then.
He will undergo surgery on his hip, which means he will miss Liverpool’s games against Fulham, Brentford, Leicester, Aston Villa, and Southampton.
With Naby Keita and Stefan Bajcetic already out of commission, Liverpool’s midfield options are limited, with Fabinho, Curtis Jones, and Harvey Elliott starting in their recent win over Tottenham.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that forward Diogo Jota is doubtful for their upcoming game against Fulham due to a bruised rib, while Roberto Firmino is also absent.
Thiago has missed a total of 56 games since joining Liverpool, and the team is expected to target midfielders during the summer transfer window.
They are reportedly interested in Chelsea’s Mason Mount and Bayern Munich’s Ryan Gravenberch.
