Its nice to have some depth but man we're banged up. Jota-Firmino-Mane Jones-Thiago-Gini Robbo-?-Matip-Milner? Alisson
This was 3 weeks ago https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/fo...gen-klopp-uefa-champions-league-a4573061.html and this was 8 days ago https://metro.co.uk/2020/11/10/live...antaras-possible-return-from-injury-13571465/
It's very concerning that they keep listing Thiago as day-to-day and leak that he's expected to return. Yet he's still not training. Probably needs to be back by tomorrow? To be able to play Saturday
Another hat trick! Shit sucks tho, hate to see any player missing time due to this completely avoidable international break.
Incredible that Atletico didn't activate their buyback clause for Jota. They could've signed him for 20 mil Euro.
James Pearce has explained his thoughts on the matter via a Q&A with the Athletic, and proposes that Liverpool are simply being incredibly careful due to the nature of Richarlison’s horror tackle and the fact Thiago has a chequered fitness record. “Given that Thiago was pictured working outside three weeks ago I would have expected him to be full training by now but clearly there was some discomfort in his knee so they’re being extra careful with him. Considering how bad the challenge was fro Richarlison, I’d say six to eight weeks out still makes Thiago pretty fortunate because it could have ended his season,” Pearce says. “To my knowledge he hasn’t started full training again yet and after a month out he will need to build up his sharpness.”
