The incredible amount of games Thiago Alcantara has missed for Liverpool has emerged after he suffered yet another injury.

The Spanish midfielder recently spent around nine months on the sidelines with a hip problem and returned from the lay-off against Arsenal.

The ex Barcelona and Bayern Munich came off the bench in the 3-1 defeat, playing the final five minutes in his first appearance of the season.

However, it's been reported that Thiago is back on the treatment table after experiencing muscular discomfort.

He has been plagued by problems with his hamstrings and calves, causing him to be sidelined for large spells.

Using data from Transfer Markt, it appears as though Thiago has collectively missed 101 games for club and country since signing for Liverpool for a fee of £20 million in 2020.

He has only actually made 98 appearances for the Reds, with his absences varying from two bouts with coronavirus to hip, calf, hamstring and thigh problems.

Thiago's contract is due to expire in the summer but many Liverpool fans are already calling for his deal to be ripped up.

Reports indicate that he is not expected to stay at Anfield beyond this season, with Liverpool's midfield recently undergoing a major reconstruction.

The likes of Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai were all signed ahead of the current campaign, with Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabinho moving on.

There is no timeframe on how long Thiago will be out for, with Jurgen Klopp expected to update fans in his pre-Burnley press conference.

Before the Arsenal cameo, his last appearance was as a substitute in a 2-1 win over West Ham last season.
