NewsJürgen Klopp provides update on Thiago Alcantara

Thiago is back in team training with the Reds having missed the final weeks of last season due to a hip injury that required surgery.

The No.6 is preparing for his fourth campaign at Anfield and the manager detailed the leadership qualities he is offering to the side.

Klopp said of Thiago’s status: “He’s now training. He came in and asked about his role and we spoke.

“[He’s a] super-experienced player. He stepped up in that department. He has only been in team training for a week but very vocal. He is going to be very helpful for us.”
