All the signs are pointing to Liverpool pair Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara being fit for the Champions League final this weekend, according to the Daily Mail‘s Dominic King.
The usually reliable reporter claims the two players are winning their race to be fit to face Real Madrid at the Stade de France.
Fans on Twitter are trying not to get their hopes up too high but some are confident about the Reds’ chances of lifting their seventh European Cup if both Fabinho and Thiago are involved:
madrid are in trouble.

Having both players fit and available would be a big boost for manager Jurgen Klopp. Their experience and ability to control games in the middle of the park would undoubtedly increase Liverpool’s odds of securing victory.
It would, though, still be a surprise if both players started in Paris. The Reds rely on their midfield three and they can’t afford to be carrying anyone if they are not 100% fit. We shall see who makes the eleven on Saturday.
