Liverpool are hopeful that Thiago, James Milner and Xherdan Shaqiri will all be fit enough to return to training next week in a potential triple boost for the Reds.
The Premier League champions currently lead the pack by three points despite suffering several injury issues this year.
Another tough match with Crystal Palace awaits this weekend, meanwhile, and it is a game that comes too soon for the aforementioned three.
However, in his press conference earlier today, Jurgen Klopp revealed Thiago, Milner and Shaqiri aren’t too far away – as per James Pearce:
Klopp also hopes to have Shaqiri and Milner back in full training next week.

Rush Football’s take
It’s exciting news for fans of the Reds, particularly in the case of Thiago.
Of course, having the ever-reliable and versatile Milner back available is a big boost and Shaqiri was showing some nice touches before his own fitness problems but Thiago is the one the Reds really want to see more of.
He’s been limited thanks to injuries and his late arrival in the transfer window in terms of appearances but his quality is undeniable and being able to add him to the squad sooner rather than later is massive as the Reds seek to retain their title.
