Liverpool midfielder Thiago is in a race to be fit for the Champions League final showdown with Real Madrid... as scans show he suffered an achilles problem in Wolves victory

Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara faces a fight to be fit for the Champions League final after scans showed he sustained an Achilles problem on the final day of the Premier League season.

The Spanish midfielder underwent a scan on Monday which eased fears that he suffered significant damage during Sunday’s 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield.

However, it remains unclear at this stage whether he will be fit for Saturday’s showdown against Real Madrid in Paris, according to The Athletic.

The 31-year-old, who came off at half-time on Sunday, has already missed one final this season after being hurt in the warm-up before the Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea.
