Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Thiago Alcantara will return before the end of the season.

The Spain midfielder has missed Liverpool's last three games with a hip problem.

Asked if Thiago could be out until the end of the season, Klopp replied: "No, neither March nor [the] end of the season is in my mind.

"It is something around the hip, that is the situation and it needs time now. He didn't train this week but we expect him to be back to do rehab stuff from tomorrow on and then we will see.

"No, it is not that he is out until the end of the season, not at all."
