Liverpool have received a major boost, with Thiago named in their squad to face Newcastle United.
The Reds head to St James’ Park this evening for a crucial Premier League clash, looking to go five points clear at the top of the table.
Thiago hasn’t played for Liverpool since mid-October, but it has been confirmed that he is in the matchday squad.
The Spaniard has been missing through injury, having been on the receiving end of a terrible tackle by Richarlison in the 2-2 draw at Everton.

This is an almighty positive for Liverpool, with Thiago such an exciting summer signing from Bayern Munich.
Limited to just 135 minutes so far in a Reds shirt, coming against Chelsea and Everton, he is going to be a huge figure in the second half of the season.
The 29-year-old brings a level of guile to the midfield that few others in Europe can, so having him available again has the potential to make a huge difference, especially with the likes of Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum possibly tiring as the campaign goes on.
