Jurgen Klopp expects Fabinho to return early to action after sustaining a ankle injury during Wednesday’s CL 1-1 draw with Napoli
Jürgen Klopp told BT Sport post-match: “Of course it’s still early and we all hope it’s not too serious but it’s pretty painful in an area where you don’t want to have pain, around the ankle and shin, so we have to see.”
At his press conference, the manager added: “He is a really hard one and couldn’t continue. I don’t want to say what I expect, because I hope in the moment it’s not that serious.
"But we’ll know more maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow. We’ll see."
Fabinho was replaced by Georginio Wijnaldum in the 19th minute and could miss Liverpool's Premier League fixture against Brighton on Saturday, but Klopp will be keen to have him back for the Merseyside derby next Wednesday.
