Just as Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah get set to return to action for Liverpool, another big name has also made a comeback – Thiago.

The Spaniard was suffering with a hip problem, although he now looks in fantastic shape if a 12-second video posted by the Reds is anything to go by.

What’s the story?

Well, Liverpool posted footage from the AXA Training Centre, which showed Thiago humiliating Adrian.

The ex-Barcelona maestro delicately lobbed his fellow Spaniard who was barely off his line, which makes the goal all the more special.

Pep Lijnders couldn’t believe it, as he sunk to his knees in disbelief at what he had just seen.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also gets involved – the England international picks Thiago up in celebration after his wonderful strike.

It seems everyone enjoyed it but Adrian, who was left embarrassed by the moment of genius.

Thiago will help Liverpool hugely

Having struggled through January with a depleted squad, Jürgen Klopp now has his deadliest weapons returning at the same time.

Harvey Elliott, Thiago and Salah are back, with Mane soon to arrive after he finishes celebrating with Senegal.

Liverpool have also introduced Luis Diaz to the squad, so Klopp now has a wealth of options to choose from.

With the Carabao Cup final and the Champions League on the horizon, as well as a second Premier League title still up for grabs, Liverpool have been boosted at the perfect time.

By the looks of it, the Reds are all set for an exciting second half of the campaign.
