The problems are mounting for Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool. The Reds could lose an important man in midfield for the Champions League tie.
Thiago Alcantara is a doubt for the first leg against Real Madrid. The Spanish player has a hip injury that will keep him out of Monday's derby against Everton.
'The Telegraph' reported that the midfielder could be sidelined for up to four weeks, meaning that, if confirmed, he will miss the first leg against 'Los Blancos'.
The first match between the two teams will be on 21st February at Anfield. The Spaniard's objective, if the injury is confirmed, will be to play at the Santiago Bernabeu on 15th March.
