Thiago set for Liverpool comeback vs Atletico

Thiago Alcantara is in line to return to action for Liverpool against Atletico Madrid after a two-month injury-enforced layoff.

Thiago has not seen a single minute of competitive action since suffering a calf injury in Liverpool's Premier League win over Crystal Palace on September 18.

The Spain international has sat out a total of nine games across all competitions, but is now back in full training and Jurgen Klopp has hinted that he could feature when Atletico arrive at Anfield in the Champions League.

Fabinho is also available again after missing Liverpool's last three domestic games due to a knee injury, with Klopp telling a press conference ahead of Wednesday's Group B encounter: "Fabinho and Thiago trained completely normally and are in contention, which is good obviously.

"It’s very helpful and so we will see."
