Liverpool: Experts discuss the signing of Thiago Alcantara
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Thiago Alcantara will not available for selection against Manchester City. The Spain international has been out of action since picking up a knee injury in the Merseyside derby against Everton last month.
"The longer he is out, the longer he has to train before we consider him again as a starting line-up player.
"That's obviously not the case for Thiago so he won't be available for us on Sunday."
Joel Matip could be in contention to make his return from injury, but Klopp stopped short of confirming whether he would start alongside Joe Gomez.
"Joel is back and he's been back seven or eight days in training," Klopp added.
