# Liverpool: Fans discuss Thiago fitness update

**Many Liverpool fans have been discussing an injury update involving Thiago Alcantara that recently emerged on social media.**

Journalist Kevin Palmer [recently wrote an article for The Sunday World](https://www.sundayworld.com/sport/soccer/jurgen-klopp-reacts-to-reports-virgil-van-dijk-could-make-a-return-to-action-sooner-than-expected-39868966.html) and the piece relayed an update about Thiago’s fitness. The article claimed that Liverpool are currently hopeful of the fact that the Spaniard will be back in the first-team picture towards the end of the month. The midfielder hasn’t returned to first-team training but the Reds are hoping that Thiago can be involved in the team despite some ‘discomfort’ in his knee.

Thiago [suffered the injury](https://www.sundayworld.com/sport/soccer/jurgen-klopp-reacts-to-reports-virgil-van-dijk-could-make-a-return-to-action-sooner-than-expected-39868966.html) in the Merseyside derby earlier in the season following a tackle by Everton star Richarlison. Before that, the summer signing had made two Premier League appearances for the Reds, featuring against Chelsea and Everton ([as per Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thiago/leistungsdaten/spieler/60444).

The Spaniard had arrived at Anfield from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window for a fee of £20 million, when he had signed a four-year-deal with the Reds ([as per BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54199589)).

This update about Thiago’s fitness left many Liverpool fans talking, when the news was [relayed on Twitter by Anfield Edition,](https://twitter.com/AnfieldEdition/status/1338986784324251650) and one supporter even called the ordeal ‘insane’.

### What did Liverpool fans make of this update about Thiago’s fitness?

> It is insane how we’ve only seen him play roughly 90 minutes and we’re this excited. I’ve honestly never experienced so much love for a player in such a small amount of time. I’m so happy rn

> Lie. They’re hiding something, we’ve heard this many times. Also players shouldn’t be allowed to play until the deliberately injured player is fit again.
