Klopp shares potential return date for star midfielder

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given a fresh update concerning the fitness of summer signing Thiago Alcantara who has been out injured for the past few weeks.

Thiago Alcantara who is regarded as one of the best players in his position featured just twice for the Reds before he suffered a knee injury in Liverpool draw with Everton in October.

Though Liverpool have been putting in some impressive performance during his absence, the congested festive period have seen Kloop lament about how stressful it will be on the players.

With the Reds dropping point for the first time this season at Anfield when they played a 1-1 draw with West Brom, Liverpool will be eager to get back to winning ways when they play Newcastle on Wednesday.

Speaking ahead of the fixtures, Jurgen Klopp stated that Alcantara could be involved as the former Barcelona midfielder has trained in part with the team so far, but on Christmas Day, he trained the full session.

Though he noted that the training was a reduced session as the team couldn’t do a full session, Thiago Alcantara will be up for selection when they play Newcastle.

The Reds will hope to win all three points when they face the Magpies on Wednesday.
