Jamie Carragher has told Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp why Thiago should start against Arsenal after the Spaniard returned to training earlier this week. Following their 4-1 defeat to Man City, Klopp made several changes for the clash against Chelsea four days later, with Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah notable absentees.
After 60 minutes, Salah was introduced by Klopp, but was unable to have any impact as the game finished goalless. Despite featuring in mid-week, Salah joined Van Dijk as a possible fitness doubt for the Arsenal clash after he was not pictured in training on Thursday.
While the absence of the influential winger was a blow, Liverpool were handed a major injury boost with Thiago, who has missed two months of action with a hip flexor problem, back training.
