Thiago Alcântara and Stefan Bajcetic , Liverpool midfielders, do not see the light at the end of the tunnel and still do not have a return date to the pitch.
Bajcetic played 2 games this season and has been out since September due to a “growth problem” of which no further details were specified, while Thiago suffered a hip injury in April 2023 and has not played a full game since then, with several setbacks , the last of which came after playing a few minutes a few weeks ago against Arsenal.
“We don’t have a return date for him,” said Jürgen Klopp this Tuesday at the press conference. “I don’t know if he’ll play more this season. There are things he needs to do, but it’s not a short-term injury. He won’t train for the next two weeks.” The German said Bajcetic is working to get back in shape but has not yet received clearance from doctors to train normally.
“No one is stopping him, so there must be a good reason why he hasn’t been discharged yet,” Klopp added.
Bajcetic and Thiago are two of the many players Liverpool currently have in the medical department. The Spanish will miss this Wednesday’s game in the 5th round of the FA Cup, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ryan Gravenberch, Alisson Becker, Joël Matip, Diogo Jota, Curtis Jones and Wataru Endo . Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez and Dominik Szoboszlai are doubts.
