Liverpool are handed injury boost as Jurgen Klopp reveals Thiago Alcantara could be fit for Champions League return leg with Inter Milan after midfielder was left in tears as tight hamstring forced him to pull out of League Cup final

Liverpool have been handed an injury boost as Thiago Alcantara's injury, which he sustained in the warm-up ahead of the Carabao Cup final, is not as serious as originally feared.

The midfielder was originally named in Jurgen Klopp's starting XI to face Chelsea in the Wembley showdown but was forced to withdraw due to a tight hamstring in the warm-up.

The Spaniard was replaced with Naby Keita and could be seen breaking down in tears while watching his team-mates clinch a record ninth League Cup from the sidelines.
