Thiago Alcantara has made his return to Liverpool team training, with Xherdan Shaqiri and James Milner joining in with the Reds’ festive preparations.
It’s a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp, as the German readies his men for the incoming Anfield clash this Sunday with Sam Allardyce’s West Brom.
Having lost the Spaniard to a horrific challenge from Richarlison in the Merseyside derby – a tie also responsible for Virgil van Dijk’s anterior cruciate ligament injury – we’ve yet to truly appreciate all that the classy midfielder has to offer.
It’ll probably be too hopeful to expect a start from the No.6 this weekend, but should Thiago train to a standard that satisfies Klopp, then we could well be treated to a cameo appearance from the bench.
If this news doesn’t make you want to blast out Cuba by the Gibson Brothers on full volume, then nothing will.
