Liverpool return to action in less than two days and the majority of players returned to training, but that did not stop further rumours over Thiago‘s future on Thursday.
Konate back & Trent spotted
Jurgen Klopp‘s squad was back in training on Thursday and notably, Ibrahima Konate was pictured taking part in a session after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury.
It is likely that he will be in contention to start for the trip to Wolves, which would be a welcome boost.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, meanwhile, looks to be closing in on a return but Saturday still looks to come too soon as he was not part of the main training group – Klopp will tell us more on Friday.
Liverpool squad in training on Thursday
Goalkeepers: Kelleher, Adrian, Pitaluga, Jaros, Mrozek, Miscuir
Defenders: Van Dijk (suspended vs. Wolves), Konate, Gomez, Matip, Quansah, Robertson, Tsimikas, Scanlon
Midfielders: Szoboszlai, Jones, Gravenberch, Endo, Elliott, Bajcetic, Clark, McConnell
Forwards: Salah, Gakpo, Jota, Doak
In total, 26 members of the squad were in training two days out from the next game, though that did not include the South American contingent as their international duties were the last to conclude.
Are you just as excited for proper footy to return as us?

Video of the day and match of the night
Mohamed Salah has been nothing short of a revelation since arriving, Gareth Roberts and Paul Cope discussed why cashing in on him makes NO sense in our latest show.
Do you agree?
It is a quiet Thursday night where matches to tune into are concerned, but it all starts again from Friday onwards! Perhaps enjoy a movie night tonight, or if rugby union is your thing, there’s World Cup action (France vs. Uruguay).
