Thiago, Divock and Naby back in training. Will we ever see a Fabs-Thiago-Keita midfield?
 
Pre-Cardiff.

Klopp doesn't sound, in his presser, like he'll start Elliott. Klopp said Thiago should be in team training today but he'll 'see how he can use him on Sunday'. Origi looked very good in his first team training session. Naby looks very good and full of confidence. Sounds like he won't start Diaz for a few weeks.

Tues/Wed winner of AFCON returns. Loser earlier.
 
The Liverpool boss will also be delighted to see several of his midfielders returning from injury and international duty too.

It’s undoubtedly been the most hard-hit area of the team in 2021/22, with the squad’s top four most frequently absent players all stationed there. Harvey Elliott has so far missed 30 matches, Thiago Alcântara has been unavailable for 18, Curtis Jones for 15 and Naby Keita has been out for 14 games.

It’s the return of Thiago which will likely be most welcomed by Klopp thanks to his fabulous record when playing with Fabinho.

When that duo has started in midfield together, Liverpool have won 15 and drawn one of the 16 matches in question, even though only six of them took place at Anfield. The Reds have scored 41 goals, conceded just six (while keeping 12 clean sheets) and looked largely unstoppable.


The interesting thing is that six different players have featured alongside them, and Thiago has played eight games on each side of Fabinho. Last season he was mostly on the right while Gini Wijnaldum was usually on the left, this term he has switched sides while Jordan Henderson has been on the right most often.
 
Diaz don’t yet speak the language, I know he soon will speak scouse 😀 but in the meantime will he understand if he plays off the bench today, when they say shoot 😀
