Thiago and Fabinho Return to Training

Familiar faces bring renewed hope.

While the news of new injuries has been piling up, with Jordan Henderson now set to miss the upcoming
Premier League game against Leicester
City, fans will be pleased to see a few familiar faces on the
training ground.

Thiago Alcantara who has been injured since the
Merseyside derby was seen at the new Kirkby (not saying AXA, sorry)
training ground. Another welcome face was that of Fabinho, who till
recently had deputized at the all important back-up center-back
role in Virgil Van Dijk’s absence, and had put in a few great
shifts. He then picked up a hamstring injury during the Champions League game against FC Midtjylland.

In today’s press conference ahead of the Leicester game, Jurgen
Klopp indicated that both players were well-positioned for a role,
saying, “Hendo not, Trent not, and all the rest we will see.
(Thiago/Fabinho) in a good way. All closer but we will see.”

Another welcome sight was that of Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlain
on the training ground, though there is less information about his
possible date of return to the lineup.

Joining Henderson on the sidelines, are Trent Alexander-Arnold
and Joe Gomez, while Mohamed Salah will be in isolation having still not tested negative
for COVID-19.
