Jurgen Klopp believes Thiago Alcantara has a "good chance" of being ready for Liverpool's Champions League showdown with Real Madrid on Saturday. 

The midfielder, 31, suffered a muscle injury on the final day of the Premier League season as the Reds beat Wolves 3-1. 

But speaking earlier today, Klopp said: "I would imagine he’s got a a good chance [of being fit for Champions League final]. 

"He will be training in the afternoon. He did some stuff this morning, it was not planned for him to do this session with the players. 

"At this moment it looks like he will be part of training tomorrow. That would be pretty helpful, obviously. Then we go from there. 

"After the [Wolves] game I was not positive about it but this is surprisingly good."

Promising forward Dane Scarlett has signed a new deal with Tottenham — tying him to the club until 2026. 

Scarlett, 18, made seven first-term appearances for Spurs this season, most recently as a second-half sub in the 4-0 win over Leeds in February. 

The youngster said: "I'm really proud and excited to see what the future brings. I'm happy to be here, enjoying my football. 

"If I stay focused and keep working hard, everything will pan out for me."

Lionesses kitted out for action

The kits Sarina Wiegman's England stars will wear at Women's Euro 2022 have been unveiled by Nike.
