The hip has left Thiago out of Klopp's squad for seven months. A talent really harmed by injuries throughout his career, and for which he now sees himself 'condemned'. Although it is important for the German coach, the competition is brutal and he could lose his place, not only in the midfield, but in the club.

Wataru Endo arrived this summer from Stuttgart to fill that position occupied by Thiago. The expectations with the Japanese were not very high, and it was also difficult for him to adapt to Premier football. However, Endo himself has been putting in some spectacular performances in recent games and it just coincides with the return of the former FC Barcelona and Bayern player.

According to what Klopp said a couple of weeks ago, the most likely thing is that the Spanish midfielder will be back at the beginning of next year, 2024. He has already been seen at the Liverpool facilities back in training, training on the sidelines, and in theory It is still important for Klopp. In fact, they can't wait any longer to have him back.

“To be honest, we can't wait to have him back. The player is simply exceptional. I understand you're asking, but we can't have a week-to-week update right now, because that won't change much. And we can't put any kind of pressure there either, but we hope that he will return probably at the beginning of the New Year," the 'red' coach said three weeks ago at a press conference.

Stay or leave, Thiago's decision

With the position up in the air, the contract issue also comes into play. Thiago's commitment to Liverpool ends on June 30, and after a few months and months without playing, the remainder of the season is transcendental for his future. In fact, according to The Athletic, the Anfield sports management is seriously considering whether to renew him or not due to the player's financial needs compared to his performance due to the obvious injuries.
