Some Liverpool supporters have aimed their anger at Richarlison once again, following Jurgen Klopp’s injury update on Thiago.
The Spaniard hasn’t featured for the Reds since the 2-2 draw away to Everton on October 17th, when Richarlison produced a shocking tackle on him that got the Brazilian sent-off.
It has been a hugely frustrating period, with Liverpool fans desperate to see the silky midfielder in action, but only managing to see him for 135 minutes to date.
In many ways, it is fortunate that Thiago’s injury isn’t a season-ending one, considering how horrific Richarlison’s tackle was.
On Monday, Klopp provided an update on the 29-year-old, claiming the injury was worse than first thought, with Thiago’s return still “a few weeks” away.
It means Liverpool will have to continue without one of their most important players, with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Naby Keita also missing.
These Reds supporters took to Twitter to criticise Richarlison, following his appalling challenge last month.

So the Richarlison tackle got Thiago injured for 2 months minimum, lovely

To be fair, the tackle by Richarlison was a disgrace & we're fortunate Thiago can even play again this season. It is frustrating though, admittedly.
