– They are already without midfielders Curtis Jones and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
– Liverpool play Crystal Palace, Manchester United, Bournemouth and Newcastle in August before visiting Everton on 3 September.
🚨 NEW: Thiago is due to undergo more tests this week, which will hopefully put a time frame on his return. A lot will depend on how he responds to treatment this week, but Jürgen Klopp will be braced for being without a key player for at least a month. #lfc [paul joyce – times] pic.twitter.com/AIWVBBGgKs
