Klopp: Fabinho’s injury was the last thing we needed
Jurgen Klopp was left to curse his Liverpool side’s injury affliction when Fabinho became his latest defensive fitness problem, admitting: “It’s exactly the last thing we needed.”
With Joel Matip struggling to stay in shape and Virgil van Dijk expected to miss the rest of the season, Fabinho has ably served as a central defender alongside Joe Gomez, who is the club’s only fit senior specialist at the job.
However, the Brazilian was forced to retire during the first half of tonight’s win over Midtjylland.
“Exactly the last thing we needed,” Klopp told BT Sport. “I don’t know, he felt his hamstring and that’s not good.
“He didn’t feel it much, he said he could have continued playing but without more sprints, which doesn’t help. We have to do a scan and wait and see, but it’s not good. ”
“In our situation losing Fabinho in the first half, Rhys Williams comes, 19 years old, I think he has more Champions League games than Premier, which is quite rare.”
