The Premier League match of the week between Arsenal and Liverpool continues to make unfortunate news for the Red's, who set social media alight with the latest images of the first team training session where all the available superstars appeared, except one, the Spaniard Thiago Alcantara, who surprised by his absence and filled the fans with doubts who believe that the midfielder is resentful again.

Thiago Alcántara, who recently returned to the Liverpool FC starting line-up after overcoming his hamstring injury suffered on Matchday 1 of the English Championship against Fulham FC, has been in the "eye of the storm" again this weekend, when he did not appear in the official images that the club posted on social networks, opening a breach of concern for the Spanish international who would be looking to chain his fourth game as a starter.

Jürgen Klopp's desperation for Liverpool to beat Arsenal

Alcantara's importance in the Red's midfield is vital. The 31-year-old midfielder is rated by various reports as one of the most visionary players in the world, on a par with Neymar Jr and legend Lionel Messi, both of France's Paris Saint-Germain. So in the summer of 2020, Jürgen Klopp specifically asked the board to sign him until the 2024 season.

Unfortunately, Thiago's terrible relapses have taken him away from his great level, and even his participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup is in danger. Last summer he was called up by Spanish coach Luis Enrique for the UEFA Nations League matches with "La Furia", which he missed due to a muscle injury, leading him to play cautiously in the Red's pre-season, until playing almost 90 minutes in the Community Shield final.

Thiago Alcántara would not have trained

If Thiago's absence is confirmed for next Sunday's match against Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, German coach Jürgen Klopp would have to call on other elements such as ex-Real Madrid Fabinho and Englishman Jordan Henderson, who could combine with Arthur Melo, who arrived at the last minute at Anfield, and who has not had minutes due to Alcántara's absence from the starting line-up, which is currently trending in his absence.
