Jurgen Klopp will not give up on Thiago Alcantara being fit to face Real Madrid

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."

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.
