The Spaniard tested positive for Covid on the eve of the Reds’ match with Tottenham on December 18, making him the fourth Liverpool player to be sidelined due to the virus.
He joined Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Curtis Jones, all of whom tested positive two days prior and were then able to rejoin the group on Christmas Eve after government guidelines changed.
Negative lateral flow tests on the sixth and seventh days of isolation and no signs of symptoms will end self-isolation, as it did for the abovementioned trio, and now Thiago.
Liverpool’s No. 6 had to record negative tests on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to be released and his presence at Kirkby on Boxing Day was more than enough evidence to say he did just that.
