Liverpool without Thiago against Tottenham due to suspected positive Covid-19 test

 The Reds will be unable to call upon the Spain international midfielder when taking in a trip to north London on Sunday

Thiago Alcantara has returned a suspected positive test for coronavirus at Liverpool, meaning that he will not be involved in a Premier League meeting with Tottenham on Sunday.

The Reds faced a similar situation in their last fixture against Newcastle, when Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Curtis Jones were all ruled out of contention.

The rest of Jurgen Klopp’s first-team squad, and staff, have posted negative tests, with the Merseyside outfit able to steer clear of the coronavirus outbreaks that have hit a number of top-flight rivals hard.
