# Liverpool: Fans fume despite Jurgen Klopp playing down Thiago injury rumour

**A number of Liverpool fans believe that Thiago is still set to be ruled out for a lengthy period despite Jurgen Klopp insisting that the 30-year-old won’t miss the rest of the season through injury.**

The Reds cruised into the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon, beating Shrewsbury Town at Anfield after initially falling behind.

There was a mix of youth and experience on the pitch for Liverpool but Thiago was unavailable as he continues to recover from a [hip problem](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12512604/thiago-alcantara-injury-jurgen-klopp-dismisses-concerns-liverpool-midfielder-could-miss-rest-of-season-with-hip-problem).

The midfielder hasn’t featured since the [3-1 win at home to Newcastle United](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/74939/MatchStatistics/Thiago) in mid-December, and there [have been some claims](https://www.thisisanfield.com/2022/01/klopp-rubbishes-rumours-of-thiago-being-out-until-the-end-of-the-season/) that he would miss the rest of the campaign.

As stated by Paul Joyce on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1480216096187768842?s=20), Klopp has said the rumour isn’t true and that Thiago is now beginning rehab on his injury, claiming: “Neither March nor end of the season is in my mind.”

### Liverpool fans fume at Thiago latest

Despite Klopp’s reassurances, many Liverpool fans were still fearing the worst, given that the Spain midfielder has been [often troubled by injury](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thiago/verletzungen/spieler/60444) since coming to the club in 2020. Here’s a flavour of the “worrying” reaction to Joyce’s tweet:
