Thiago has put himself in contention for a dramatic return against Premier League leaders Arsenal after coming through Liverpool training unscathed.
The Spain international midfielder has been a huge miss for Liverpool, with a hip injury sidelining him for the past 10 games; a period where the Reds’ Champions’ League hopes seem to have disintegrated.
But after training with the first-team squad all week, Thiago showed his fitness in a serious session between two teams in an 11 on 11 run out, and came through with no issues. That has put him in contention to face the Gunners at Anfield on Sunday, where he could be joined by Luis Diaz, who has also trained this week with the first team squad, following a five month lay off.
