Kostas Tsimikas drops Thiago Alcantara Liverpool return hint

Kostas Tsimikas has given Liverpool fans a hint ahead of their return to action this weekend.

It'll be two weeks since Jurgen Klopp's side last took the field after a brief winter break given to European players, while others across the globe played international football.

But with all first-team players now back in Liverpool - except for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane - the Reds will return to action in the FA Cup, when they'll face Cardiff City.

Liverpool will have options to choose from, with a number of players returning from injury, meanwhile youth team players will likely be added to the squad.

But one player who was thought to be a doubt, is Spaniard Thiago Alcantara.

Klopp confirmed the 30-year-old again had to miss sessions after suffering with a chest infection, with the midfielder only returning to training on Friday.

However, Liverpool's Greek left-back Tsimikas may have ruined the surprise for fans in his latest Instagram post.

Thiago was pictured training with the Reds today, and Tsimikas posted: "When you realise your brother is fully back @thiago6."

It is unclear whether Thiago will start in the game, but all indications now point to him being fully fit.

Liverpool will hope to have the influential Spaniard ready for next week's games with Leicester City and Burnley, before facing Inter Milan in the space of six days.
