Reports arise that Thiago Alcantara will return from injury by the end of December
Thiago played superbly in both the matches he has played for Liverpool. His playing time has been limited by Covid-19 and a freak injury

This news will certainly be a matter of joy for Liverpool fans around the world as the talismanic midfielder might just recover from his injury this month. Thiago suffered from a horror tackle back in the month of October when Everton’s Richarlison tackled him. Since then he has been recovering slowly but steadily and will come back stronger than ever.

Kevin Palmer reports that Thiago will feature next month

Kevin Palmer reported that Liverpool will try to sign Ben White in the winter transfer window and now he has reported this. He is fairly a reliable reporter and correct in most of his news about the Thiago transfer saga. Liverpool released photos of him training back in November too but it has been reported that there was a flare up of the previous injury. It was sudden and therefore the club physios are taking no chance with his recuperation this time.

Jurgen Klopp went ahead and broke his own transfer policy to sign Thiago from Bayern Munich when he was available. The usual approach of the club would be to identify and sign players from clubs where they are relatively not known and then develop them to become better. Players like Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander-Arnold (academy) have all been signed for less and have been developed.

Klopp was so impressed with Thiago and felt there was a need to sign a player who was 29 of age, which the club usually avoids. Liverpool had been lacking a creative midfielder who could unlock low block defences and were overly reliant on their front three. When they couldn’t be at their best, the team suffered as a whole and their midfield wasn’t exactly known to score. The signing of Thiago is expected to do that as he had a similar duty in Bayern Munich too.

The sooner Thiago recovers, the sooner will Liverpool be strengthened obscenely.
