# Thiago expected to be back after the international break, claims journalist

Thiago could be back for Liverpool after the international break, according to the *[Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8930915/Liverpool-defender-Trent-Alexander-Arnold-set-sit-FOUR-WEEKS-injury-Manchester-City.html)*‘s Dominic King.

The 29-year-old [hasn’t featured](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/11/06/thiago-will-miss-liverpools-clash-with-man-city-klopp-confirms/) for the Reds since picking up an injury against Everton last month, following an awful tackle by Richarlison.

Liverpool have had to play six games without their star summer signing, fortunately winning five and drawing one of those matches.

Thiago’s return is vital, however, and King claims that he could be available for the visit of Leicester City on November 21st, as the Reds host the current Premier League leaders.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Incredibly, Thiago has only managed [135 minutes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/74939/Show/Thiago) of action for Liverpool so far this season, playing a half against Chelsea before almost lasting the full game at Everton.

It has been evident in that short time what a special midfielder the Spaniard is, however, with his ability to dictate games and keep possession something the Reds’ other midfielders don’t possess as much.

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s [injury](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/11/09/alexander-arnold-ruled-out-for-four-weeks-with-calf-injury/) could also mean Fabinho plays at right-back upon his own return from a [fitness issue](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/10/29/fabinho-injury-not-as-serious-as-first-feared-claims-journalist/), meaning Thiago’s availability in the middle of the park will be even more important.

If he can just stay fit, he has the talent to be a game-changer of a signing, having been regarded as one of the [world’s best midfielders](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8763901/Kevin-Bruyne-Thiago-Alcantara-Paul-Pogba-Premier-League-midfielder-comes-top.html) for years now.
