Thiago and Alisson face Liverpool fitness tests ahead of Arsenal clash

Liverpool pair Thiago Alcantara and Alisson face fitness tests ahead of the club’s Premier League encounter with Arsenal on Monday, Goal can confirm.

Neither of the pair trained on Friday and face a race against time to be fit to face the Gunners, though it is not clear what the issue is with either player currently.

Thiago, who arrived for £20 million ($26m) from Bayern Munich earlier in September, was expected to make his first start for the club in the encounter after impressing on debut off the bench against Chelsea in a 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
