Thiago Alcantara has been included in Liverpool’s matchday squad against Newcastle United.
The Reds have travelled to St James' Park for the Premier League clash, set to kick-off at 8pm.
Star midfielder Thiago is available for Jurgen Klopp in what is his first matchday squad appearance since sustaining an impact knee injury against Everton on October 17 after a rash challenge from Richarlison.
Full team news will be released at 7pm but it is a huge boost for the champions to have Thiago back amongst the squad.
* Take our 30-second Liverpool transfer survey and let us know what Jurgen Klopp needs to do in the January window.
The world-class Spaniard arrived from Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window but has only played 135 minutes so far this season due to first contracting coronavirus before then suffering an injury.
Liverpool fans will be very excited to see the 29-year-old when he returns back to action as he has already shown glimpses of his incredible talent in a very short space of time at Anfield this season.
However, they may have to wait a little longer as he's expected to start on the bench tonight.
