Liverpool FC fans are in for some much-needed relief on the injury front with recent reports from The Times suggesting that Fabinho is in line for team selection ahead of Saturday’s showdown at Bramall Lane.
Jurgen Klopp’s misfiring outfit visit basement club Sheffield United over the coming weekend in what is a crunch tie for the Merseysiders in light of their recent slump in form across domestic football.
Fabinho’s importance in the makeshift centre-back role for Liverpool FC has not gone unnoticed and since his extended absence due to injury, the form recorded by the defending champions has only changed for the worse.
Going into the game against the relegation favourites Blades, Klopp would indeed be delighted on having his first-team regular back in the XI, especially after skipper Jordan Henderson became the latest inductee to the injury list at Anfield following the recent Merseyside derby clash.
New arrival Ozan Kabak has failed to thrive in fresh surroundings since his deadline-day move and the Turkish international would benefit from being partnered with the ever-reliant Fabinho come Saturday should the latter be deemed fit for the game being played in South Yorkshire.
