Liverpool Injury Boost as Thaigo, Milner, and Shaqiri Train

Liverpool’s injury crisis is easing. Merry Christmas.

Last week, Naby Keïta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain returned to
action. This week, three more injured Liverpool players took a big
step closer to joining them in match action with Thiago Alcantara,
James Milner, and Xherdan Shaqiri all training.

The trio were pictured taking part in full team training today
at Kirkby, and as a result it is likely all three will be available
for selection as the Reds return to action following Christmas when
they face off against West Bromwich Albion on December 27th.

While Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are not expected to have a
major—or perhaps any—role to play this season due to their
injuries, by the weekend the only short-term absence Jürgen Klopp
may have left to worry about is free-scoring forward Diogo
Jota.

After a rare extended break, with a full eight days off for the
Reds after their dominant victory over Crystal Palace last
Saturday, it’s back to two matches a week as Liverpool face West
Brom, Newcastle, Southampton, and Aston Villa
in quick succession.
