Jurgen Klopp confirms Liverpool’s boost ahead of Champions League final | Soccer

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed a double injury surge ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League final against Real Madrid, with midfielders Fabinho and Thiago both available.

Fabinho has not played since May 10 with a hamstring problem, while Thiago was doubtful for the final in Paris after suffering an Achilles injury on the final day of the season.
