Thiago remains a concern for Liverpool as they prepare for their New Year trip to Chelsea, with the Spaniard in line to miss another game with a minor fitness issue.
The Reds were back in trail on Thursday good afternoon following their post- Leicester convalescence day, with the majority of Jurgen Klopp ‘ s aged squad involved.

however, Thiago was not pictured with the group having missed the stumble to the King Power with what the club described as “ minor muscleman tenderness, ” as was the case with Takumi Minamino .
Thiago is, consequently, a doubt for the weekend, peculiarly given he had already missed over a week of prepare due to his isolation .

  • Thiago, Minamino, Origi still out
  • Adrian back after calf injury
  • Elliott and Phillips continued non-contact training
  • Alisson and Firmino not pictured with squad

Divock Origi is still not with the squad either, with the belgian not seen since he scored in the 2-1 victory over AC Milan on December 7 .
The hitter is claimed to have suffered a “ huffy knee, ” though given he has now missed over three weeks of action and is still not in team trail, it would seem the issue is more austere .

More of a concern could be the absence of Roberto Firmino and Alisson from photograph and video footage of the school term, barely days before Sunday ’ s clang with Chelsea.

Alisson could just have been working away from the cameras with goalkeeping coach Claudio Taffarel, with the returning hadrian taking his plaza on the pitch alongside Caoimhin Kelleher, Marcelo Pitaluga and Harvey Davies .

furthermore, there is a find Firmino is in stretch convalescence, having featured in each of the last four games since his recovery from a hamstring problem .
But it is besides possible that either one or both could have tested positive for COVID-19, with negative lateral run tests required to gain entrance to Kirkby .
There were no other surprises in Liverpool ’ s training team, with Klopp able to work with a firm group unlike his Chelsea counterpart Thomas Tuchel .
