Liverpool midfielder Thiago has raised hopes among supporters with a rare update from the AXA Training Centre, suggesting that he may finally be nearing a return. It has been seven-and-a-half months since his last appearance for Liverpool, having undergone surgery to correct a long-standing hip problem in April.
Although he made a brief return to first-team training earlier this season, a setback has left him sidelined since. However, a recent post from Thiago, in which he was pictured walking into the training ground, has sparked renewed hopes among fans that he is close to a comeback.
Jurgen Klopp had previously set out a timeline for Thiago’s return, suggesting that he may be back at the start of the New Year. Klopp will be eager to manage expectations of a player who has required major hip surgery, but any contribution from Thiago in the coming months would be cherished by manager and supporters alike.
