Double Liverpool team news hint ahead of Atletico Madrid Champions League clash

Thiago Alcantara and youngster Tyler Morton look set to be involved in Liverpool's Champions League squad against Atletico Madrid tonight.

Thiago could make his return when the Reds welcome Diego Simeone's side to Anfield for the first time since they knocked Liverpool out of the competition in 2020.

The midfielder's agency shared a post on social media this morning with a matchday graphic and the message 'no caption needed'.

Thiago has been absent for the last 11 matches with a calf injury, but has been training as normal this week and is in contention to start tonight.

Manager Jurgen Klopp issued a fitness update this week, as he told reporters: "Fabinho and Thiago trained completely normally and are in contention, which is good obviously.

"It’s very helpful and so we will see."

Elsewhere, youngster Tyler Morton could be included in the matchday squad after he played the full 90 minutes against Preston North End in the Carabao Cup last week.

The Teenage midfielder was pictured training with the first team on Tuesday in preparation for the clash.

His involvement tonight has potentially been signposted as he's absent from the U19s squad that take on Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Youth League this afternoon.

Klopp described the youngster as having an 'outstanding' football brain after his performance against Preston last week and he may have earned himself a spot on the bench tonight.
