Summary

Jurgen Klopp confirms Thiago Alcantara will miss Sunday's visit of West Bromwich Albion to Anfield while speaking with the media ahead of the game. The Liverpool boss reveals the former Bayern Munich midfielder still has work to go to get up to full fitness after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. There is more encouraging news on James Milner, Xherdan Shaqiri and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, while Klopp is also asked about both Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, as well as discussing the difference in preparation given that West Brom have only just appointed Sam Allardyce, the last visiting manager to win a Premier League game at Anfield.
