Liverpool will be without Thiago Alcantara in the immediate future after the Spanish midfielder tested positive for COVID-19.

Thiago joined Liverpool from Bayern Munich last month in a deal worth up to £25m, and made his debut for the Premier League champions in a 2-0 win at Chelsea on September 20.

He will be out of action for the next two weeks, missing matches against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup and Aston Villa in the Premier League.
