Thiago Alcantara has handed Liverpool a major injury boost by returning to full training ahead of their Champions League group opener.
The Spaniard has been absent since suffering a hamstring strain six minutes after half-time in the Premier League clash at promoted Fulham on August 6.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp suggested last week the 31-year-old was "close" to a return and had been pencilled in to resume team training at the start of this week.
