Fabinho joins Liverpool training, while Thiago...

Fabinho joined Liverpool training today ahead of Saturday's Champions League final.

However, Thiago Alcantara was absent for the Reds as he continues to struggle with an achilles problem that he picked up during their 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on the last day of the season.

The Spaniard limped out of the game just before the interval and now faces a race to be fit for the crucial clash against Los Blancos at the Stade de France.

He will receive treatment at Liverpool's AXA Training Centre before a last-minute decision is made on his fitness at Saturday's final.

After Sunday's win against Wolves, his manager Jurgen Klopp admitted the injury was "not good" but refused to rule him out of the final, saying: "Not good, but I cannot say more."

"He was outside with the families, had his little girl on his shoulder, so he could walk. That's obviously a good sign. All the rest, we'll see from tomorrow."
