Liverpool fans have expressed their dismay after it was announced midfielder Fabinho will be out injured until after the New Year.

A club statement read: “Liverpool can confirm Fabinho suffered ankle ligament damage during the Champions League encounter with Napoli in midweek.
“Further assessment on the injury has discovered Fabinho will be out of action until the New Year.”
Fabinho will now begin a rehabilitation programme devised by the club’s medical team.
The news is a huge blow for Jurgen Klopp, who has shaped the South American into one of the world’s best in his position.

Since becoming a regular in the side around this time last year, Fabinho has been key for Liverpool operating as the defensive shield in midfield.
The club have 11 games in the next 34 days, making Fabinho’s lay-off rather untimely.

How did we even look like before him? Struggling to remember. Carnage

We have decent cover for him with Gini/hendo tho.
But obviously losing a world class player will hurt our chances at the league title.
Still managed fine without Allison
