Thiago Alcantara limped off with an injury to his right hamstring just before half-time in Liverpool‘s crucial final game of the Premier League season at home to Wolves.
The Spaniard was as crucial as ever in the centre of the park for Jurgen Klopp’s side, assisting Sadio Mane’s 24th minute equaliser with a sublime backheel flick that split the Wolves defence.
But he pulled up in the closing moments of the first half and headed straight down the tunnel after receiving treatment off the pitch, with James Milner coming on in his place for the second half.
Thiago’s fitness is now in doubt ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League final against Real Madrid next Saturday.
