The Brazilian was chosen to the starting lineup for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday, but was forced to withdraw before kickoff, and was spotted weeping on the bench after missing out on a chance to play in the important game.
After his absence, his team won despite suffering 120 minutes of action before a total of 22 penalties were taken, with 21 of those reaching the net.
Thiago might potentially miss a number of additional games, according to The Mirror’s David Maddock, who claims that his best case scenario would see him miss 1-2 weeks of activity, but anything more would likely be at least four weeks depending on the severity of the injury.
Thiago has developed into an important component of the Reds team despite a tough start to his Anfield career, and his absence would undoubtedly be a shock to the club.
Arsenal, on the other hand, has two games before that meeting and will be hoping to make it five victories in a row before facing the Premier League championship contenders, which may see us closing in on that famous fourth position.
Is Thiago’s absence beneficial to Arsenal’s prospects of earning all three points at the Emirates on March 16?
