NewsLFC fitness update: Alexis Mac Allister, Thiago Alcantara and Mo Salah latest
Mac Allister missed last weekend’s Emirates FA Cup victory over Norwich City as a precaution, but rejoined the squad ahead of the Blues’ visit to Anfield in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Thiago, meanwhile, has taken a step forward in his recovery from long-term injury, Jürgen Klopp explained at his pre-match press conference.
“Macca trained yesterday so he should be fine,” the manager told reporters at the AXA Training Centre.
“Thiago trained [for the] first time, which was an incredible moment after all the months he couldn’t. And then training at the level he trains – oof! But he needs time. But it’s anyway a wonderful sign for yesterday.
“Nobody [new] out, the other boys still in.”
On Mohamed Salah’s ongoing recovery from a muscle injury sustained at the Africa Cup of Nations, Klopp added: “Mo is not ready for this game, not ready for the next game and then not.
“He is injured, I’m not sure if that was a misunderstanding in the beginning. He is injured and a muscle injury takes time.
“It could have been much worse but he is not available in the moment, he is just doing his rehab.”
