Thiago - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starting against Inter Thiago (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against Inter Milan.

Impact Thiago makes an immediate return to the starting XI Tuesday despite missing the last week with a tweaked hamstring. He probably won't go a full 90, since he rarely does when fully healthy, so expect an early substitution in the second half.

Impact Thiago has only been out a week with this hamstring tweak, so he should be an option Tuesday, but that doesn't mean he's going to start. Liverpool have a deep midfield and Thiago isn't going to be rushed back into the starting XI.

Impact It sounds like Thiago probably won't push his return to play Liverpool's next two matches, including Wednesday in FA Cup and then Saturday in league play. Liverpool have plenty of midfield options and don't need to push an oft-injured player back into the squad if not 100 percent.

Gets injured during warmups Thiago suffered an injury in the warmups for Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Chelsea, Liverpool announced before the game.

Wins three tackles against Inter Alcantara took one off-target shot, created one scoring chance and won three of three tackles and five duels in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Inter.

Impact Alcantara was pretty good in the passive phase, but he did not attack a lot, and his output in the final third was lacking. He has not been a factor on offense in the last three games since coming back from injury, where he has posted two shots, one chance, six duels and eight clearances. Liverpool will host Norwich City Saturday.

Gets minutes off bench in Cup win Thiago (hip) played the final 12 minutes of Sunday's FA Cup win against Cardiff City.

Back in full training Thiago (hip) returned to full training Wednesday and could be an option as soon as Sunday's FA Cup match, reports The Athletic.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Thiago and it's a good sign after missing the last six-to-seven weeks with the injury. He's unlikely to be pushed into the XI immediately, but his return is an obvious boost to Liverpool with Champions League play looming.

Impact There is at least a timeline for Thiago, which is a positive and he should be back within the next week or two. Liverpool haven't talked about the exact injury, but he last appeared Dec. 16 because of COVID-19 and then this issue. Liverpool have been fine without him, but his presence will be needed once Champions League returns.

Not training with team Thiago (hip) has begun rehab but isn't training with the team, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact It sounds like Thiago will be out until February unless something changes in the next week. He's rehabbing his hip, which could take any amount of time and after that, he'll then need to get back his fitness in team training. For now, he's expected to be out until at least the international break.

To begin recovery Alcantara will begin rehabbing a hip injury on Monday, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed Sunday.

Still out against Chelsea Alcantara (strain) is not in Liverpool's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Chelsea.

Impact Alcantara has missed Liverpool's last two Premier League games, first with COVID-19 and now with muscle soreness, and he is out for Sunday's crucial match as well. James Milner is slotting into midfield in his absence for the game.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with soreness Alcantara is not in Liverpool's match day squad for Tuesday's clash against Leicester City due to muscle soreness.

Impact Alcantara hasn't featured for Liverpool since testing positive for COVID-19 a few weeks ago, and he will now miss Tuesday's game as well. He will hope to be fit and ready to play by Sunday's big clash against Chelsea, but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Naby Keita could fill in for him in midfield if necessary.

Participates in training session Alcantara (illness) trained with the first team Friday and could be in the mix against Leicester City on Tuesday.

Impact Alcantara has missed one match already and likely would have been out for an additional contest before Sunday's clash with Leeds United was postponed. It will be a quick turnaround to play versus Leicester City on Tuesday but the fact that the midfielder is back on the training pitch is a step in the right direction.

DECEMBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out with COVID-19 Thiago has tested positive for COVID-19, Liverpool announced Sunday.

Impact Thiago will miss at least a week while in isolation, meaning he is out for Sunday's clash against Spurs, and possibly for next week's fixtures against Leeds and Leicester a well. With Fabinho (illness), Jordan Henderson (illness) and Curtis Jones (illness) all out, Liverpool could be forced to deploy a midfield three of Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Creates two chances Thiago attempted an off-target shot and created two chances prior to being taken off in the 83rd minute of Saturday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Thiago also won a tackle and made an interception and clearance before his withdrawal. Although he's scored twice in his last five appearances across all competitions, the midfielder is more known for his progressive qualities than end product, limiting his fantasy utility to an extent. That being said, Thursday's matchup against a Newcastle defense that has surrendered the most goals this season offers a favorable opportunity for Thiago if chosen to start.

Scores in second straight match Thiago scored a goal, took one shot (one on goal) and made two tackles (won two) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Southampton.

Impact Thiago followed up Wednesday's wonder strike in the Champions League with a deflected goal that made it 3-0 for Liverpool. These were his first two goals of the season and he should remain in the lineup for Wednesday's trip to Everton as he's fit and in good form.

Scores in win Thiago scored once on one shot during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Porto.

Impact Thiago scored a rare goal with a world-class strike from outside the box during Wednesday's clash. The midfielder hasn't been a top fantasy option, but he's still playing in one of the best teams in the world. If Thiago can stay in the starting XI then he will likely be a consistent fantasy option.

Starts first match since Sept. Thiago took two shots (one on target), created two scoring chances and made two tackles (won one) during Saturday's 4-0 win over Arsenal.

Impact Thiago had missed significant time with a calf injury but started his first match since Sept. 18 and went 84 minutes. When fit, Thiago is a consistent starter and could come back into the side for Tuesday's match against FC Porto.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Goes 31 minutes against Atletico Thiago went 31 minutes in Wednesday's 2-0 win against Atletico Madrid, returning from a calf injury.

Impact Thiago is back after missing the last month and a half with a calf injury. On a short week, it's hard to see him starting Sunday, but Liverpool are lacking midfield options, so there's a chance he's asked to go 60 or so minutes against West Ham. If not, he'll likely use the international break to get back to full fitness.
