So far this season 2022-2023 in the Premier League, Liverpool have suffered a lot of injuries in midfield, affecting the collective performance of the group that until not many days ago saw a slight improvement with the return of Thiago Alcántara and the victory they won against Ajax in the second day of the UEFA Champions League, seeing the coach Jurgen Klopp finally relieved as he seems to have found a temporary solution to his problem.

The Spain international suffered a hamstring injury in his team's two-goal draw against Fulham at the start of the English competition, causing the midfielder to miss the rest of the games until his return in the Europa League, where he was the standout performer during the 90 minutes he played. Although his return was on a high for the Spaniard, there are still fears for his fragility as at 31 his recovery may be much slower than in years gone by.

The good thing for Thiago as for Klopp was this break that originated from the mourning that was made in honour of Queen Elizabeth II, allowing this time gap of almost three weeks to allow the Spaniard to continue with recovery exercises and with a less accelerated process of readaptation to the courts, because the relaunch for the Reds will be complicated as they will receive the visit of Brighton, a team that has surprised in this start of the campaign by sneaking into the top places of the competition.

Obviously the injury was a total impediment for Alcántara to be taken into account with the Spanish national team in these games that they will have this weekend in the Nations League, being this perfect for Klopp as this way his player will have more days of rest. Even without the injury, the midfielder himself knew for sure that his name would not be in the list of the red fury because it seems that his football is no longer to the total liking of the coach Luis Enrique.

Looking to get back to his best

Liverpool's number 6 has not played for his country since Euro 2021, leaving him out of the plans almost certainly for the World Cup in Qatar in November, being from a sporting point of view for Klopp a total benefit for Liverpool even if it seems selfish, The weeks of inactivity will be used as an opportunity for the Spanish international to return to his best form and be the competition for that much talked about new reinforcement, gaining in turn the competition for that position in the Liverpool eleven an increase in level that will make the midfield the operative sector that produces efficient numbers for a forward line that needs them so much.
