# Liverpool: Fans explode with delight as Thiago pictured back in full first-team training

**Many [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/liverpool/) fans erupted into pandemonium after midfielder [Thiago](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/thiago-alcantara/) Alcantara was pictured in first-team training ahead of their Boxing Day clash against West Bromwich Albion.**

The 29-year-old has been missing from Jurgen Klopp’s side since his team’s [2-2](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54489179) draw against Everton back in October, after finding himself on the end of a fierce challenge from Richarlison.

Thiago, who moved to Anfield in the summer for [£20m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54199589#:~:text=Thiago%20Alcantara%3A%20Liverpool%20sign%20midfielder%20from%20Bayern%20Munich%20for%20%C2%A320m,-Last%20updated%20on&text=Liverpool%20have%20signed%20midfielder%20Thiago,%22It's%20an%20amazing%20feeling.), has only played [135](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/74939/MatchStatistics/Thiago) minutes of football, which includes an [impressive 45-minute cameo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/thiago-alcantara-liverpool-chelsea-transfer-18955918) against Chelsea earlier in the campaign.

The Spaniard was a hugely anticipated signing in the summer and recently [teased supporters on Instagram](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-thiago-alcantara-teases-supporters-with-instagram-post/) as he continued his fight towards full fitness.
