Liverpool's Thiago to miss rest of season due to hip operation - reports
Liverpool midfielder Thiago Alcantara will miss the remainder of the season to undergo a minor operation for a hip issue, British media reported on Tuesday.

Alcantara is set to miss Premier League games against Fulham, Brentford, Leicester City, Aston Villa and Southampton as they push for a top-four finish.
Liverpool are fifth on 56 points, seven behind fourth-placed Manchester United who have a game in hand.
