Liverpool's midfield issues have eased with the sight of Thiago Alcantara on the grass at the club's Kirkby training base on Tuesday.
The Spain international hasn't played since going off injured on the opening weekend of the Premier League season at Fulham, with further problems suffered by Liverpool's midfielders adding to what has been a difficult start to the campaign for Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds boss has learned that he will be without Jordan Henderson for at least the next four matches up to the international break after he suffered a hamstring problem against Newcastle last week, a blow which forced him to miss last weekend's Merseyside derby.
