Ian Wright claims Liverpool have an 'unbelievable' player and compares him to Man City's Kevin De Bruyne

Premier League and Arsenal legend Ian Wright has dubbed Liverpool midfielder Thiago an "unbelievable" player and says he could destroy teams this season.

“When you have a striker who is willing to break, the high line cannot happen, you are going to have to drop off,” said Wright.

“You have De Bruyne and all those unbelievable players in midfield, like Thiago, who are going to have time and space and then you have a problem.”

It has now been confirmed that his hamstring injury will see him miss up to six weeks of action.

With Keita and Curtis Jones also unavailable for selection, the Merseyside club are looking very light in the middle of the pitch, and Jürgen Klopp admitted his side were in a tough situation when speaking to the press after the Fulham game.

“We said we don’t need a midfielder, we have enough."

"The problem is we are now punished for something that isn’t our responsibility,” Klopp said.

“No one could imagine Curtis Jones gets the thing he gets [a knock]."

Time will tell how the Liverpool boss addresses this situation, but they will certainly want Thiago back as soon as possible.
