Jurgen Klopp opens up on Thiago's early Liverpool struggles and where he ranks now

Jurgen Klopp has admitted it took Thiago time to recover from a series of injuries and fitness issues to get back to his best as he continues to impress in a Liverpool shirt.

The Spain international struggled with a calf and hip problem towards the start of the season - issues that have kept him out for 21 matches in total. This was after another injury-hit 2020/21 campaign, where Thiago made just 30 appearances in all competitions.

However, the 31-year-old midfielder has cemented his place in the side in recent weeks and has become integral to their quadruple push this season. Liverpool have already lifted the Carabao Cup and could also win the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup before the end of the month.
