Thiago Alcantara has missed out on a place in Liverpool's matchday squad to face Nottingham Forest today (October 22) due to an ear infection.
Liverpool are set to lock horns with Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at the City Ground this afternoon. They will be keen to take their winning run in the league to three games, having defeated Manchester City and West Ham in their last two matches.
However, the Reds have received a major blow ahead of their clash against Steve Cooper's side. Thiago, who started each of their last four league games, is unavailable for match selection today.
The Spain international's absence stood out when Jurgen Klopp's side announced their squad for the match, which is less than an hour away. Some fans feared he might have suffered yet another injury.
According to James Pearce of The Athletic, though, Thiago is sidelined due to an ear infection. Klopp and Co. will be hopeful that the infection is not too serious and the midfielder can return to action soon.
Apart from Thiago, Darwin Nunez is also absent from Liverpool's matchday squad today. Klopp expressed concern over his fitness ahead of the game and it appears the striker is not fully fit to feature at the City Ground.

Yes, we're witness to the fact that Klopp sometimes make wrong player selections but it happens with any other coach,at times wrong positioning, sometimes even during crucial games or finals,as we saw with Pep during the UCL finals against Chelsea. But my problem with Klopp's case is that,he often does this teams we call 'small clubs' like the 3-3 draw against Brentford last year,which to me caused Liverpool the title with just a point below City,just to cite this. But I'll opine that, we the fans and supporters shouldn't quickly go emotional,but rather, exercise more patience and tolerance till the end of the season, then, we can evaluate and analyse to see if the best way forward is SACKING. For now, let's remain positive and hopeful that things turn around and we finish TOP FOUR at least. Keep being POSITIVE,and YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!
you want him to be sacked? then you bring who to Liverpool or you will come coach em? pls watch your match and be calming down....

I have defended Klopp couple of times but , for now I just don’t have anything to defend him with anymore, he just undermines other team and come up with useless line up, I wish he can sort out his mess but time is running out for him
