Update:

Jurgen Klopp could not confirm the return of Thiago Alcantara for Liverpool's game against Newcastle on Wednesday.

"Thiago has trained in part with the team so far, but on Friday (Christmas Day), he trained the full session," Klopp said. "But it was a reduced session so we couldn't do that [full session].

"He just has to be part of team training [more]. It's not about being part of team training one day and then you can play football in the Premier League.

"So it looks quite promising at the moment but I cannot say more about it, to be honest. I don't know. I think the plan was that if he trains [on Monday] completely normally then we will see."
