'Jurgen Klopp said...' - Paul Joyce drops huge Liverpool update ahead of Champions League final

Liverpool midfielder Thiago has a good chance of being fit for this weekend’s Champions League final, according to reliable journalist Paul Joyce.

The Reds face their biggest game of a monumental season on Saturday night as they come up against Real Madrid at the Stade de France in Paris.

Victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side would seal a trophy treble this season, further outlining their status as one of the greatest English club sides of all time.

Liverpool have been sweating over the fitness of Thiago after he limped out of last Sunday’s 3-1 win over Wolves in the Premier League, but a major update has now emerged.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, Joyce communicated Klopp’s comments that Thiago is now looking likely to be fit for the final on Saturday, having made a swift recovery from his weekend knock.

The journalist stated: “Jurgen Klopp said Thiago Alcantara has a good chance of making the Champions League final. He will train this afternoon. Klopp: ‘It is surprisingly good’.”

This is an absolutely enormous boost for Liverpool, with Thiago enjoying a sensational season, proving to be one of the best midfielders in the country.

He has posted a 90% passing success rate this term, ranking him in the 92nd percentile for positional peers in Europe’s top five leagues (as per FBRef) and bettered only by sporadic first-teamer Curtis Jones among Klopp’s midfielders.

The 31-year-old brings so much class and control to the Reds’ midfield, while he also has the experience of winning Champions League finals with Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
