# Thiago Silva returns to training ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Liverpool

Thiago Silva has returned to training ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League meeting with Liverpool this week, the [https://metro.co.uk/2021/03/02/chelsea-injury-news-thiago-silva-and-callum-hudson-odoi-return-to-training-ahead-of-liverpool-clash-14173321/](https://metro.co.uk/2021/03/02/chelsea-injury-news-thiago-silva-and-callum-hudson-odoi-return-to-training-ahead-of-liverpool-clash-14173321/)*[Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2021/03/02/chelsea-injury-news-thiago-silva-and-callum-hudson-odoi-return-to-training-ahead-of-liverpool-clash-14173321/)* report.

The Brazilian superstar hasn’t featured since the [1-0 win away to Tottenham](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/28550/Show/Thiago-Silva) on February 4th, acting as a blow to the Blues.

Silva now looks set to be in contention for Thursday’s trip to Anfield, however, in what is a huge game in the top four battle.

The 36-year-old is also joined by Callum Hudson-Odoi in being back in training, with the youngster another who could start.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Silva’s return acts as a potentially huge boost for Thomas Tuchel, given the centre-back’s experience and quality. He has [won 89 caps for Brazil](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/thiago-silva/profil/spieler/29241), outlining his pedigree.

Should the Brazilian be deemed fit enough to start, he could come straight back into the side, looking to deal with a Liverpool attack that looked improved in Sunday’s 2-0 win away to Sheffield United.

On the flip side, however, the back-three of Cesar Azpilicueta, Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger were all solid in the 0-0 draw with Manchester United, so Tuchel may feel no changes are necessary.
