# Liverpool: Fans react as Thiago Alcantara injury update emerges

**According to freelance Liverpool correspondent David Lynch, via [Watch LFC](https://twitter.com/Watch_LFC/status/1335181800746913792), Thiago Alcantara is facing a lengthy wait on the sidelines and will not be returning to Jurgen Klopp’s starting line up until January – prompting many Reds to discuss the ‘[very sad](https://twitter.com/ann_dempsey/status/1335326578423844865?s=21)‘ update.**

Thiago, who was signed as a high-profile acquisition in the summer from Bayern Munich, has been on the treatment table after suffering a knee injury after a poor challenge from Richarlison in the Merseyside Derby – with Klopp recently stating that the impact sustained on his knee [was not good.](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-injury-news-latest-list-alisson-thiago-alexander-arnold-robertson-henderson-780156)

Now, as relayed by Lynch, Thiago faces a recovery on the sidelines and won’t be back until after the New Year – prompting many Reds to flock as their injury list was just starting to ease.

Indeed, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Naby Keita are nearing a return, as [confirmed by the Reds boss](https://www.football365.com/news/liverpool-injury-update-alexander-arnold-keita-kelleher), but Thiago’s reintroduction looks to be a while off yet.

Find all of these supporters’ verdicts on the update down below.

> Good news but the Everton player was very unprofessional with that tackle. Thiago is fortune his leg was not broken. I think the Everton players came to play rugby against Liverpool that day. Two Liverpool players serious juried in one game. Utter madness.
