Fabinho returns to Liverpool’s defense when they host Leicester in the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp makes four changes in total from the team that drew 1-1 with Manchester City at the Etihad two weeks ago.
Brazilian midfielder Fabinho has spent much of the season as a makeshift center-back due to chronic shortages at Anfield.
But he hasn’t played since October 27 when he suffered a hamstring injury against Midtjylland in the Champions League.
However, after resuming full training this week, Fabinho lines up alongside Joel Matip as James Milner replaces the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right back.
Alexander-Arnold is expected to miss another two weeks at least after a calf injury in the game against City before the international break.
Andy Robertson completes the Reds’ last four when Klopp names an adventurous midfielder three from Gini Wijnaldum, Curtis Jones and Naby Keita.
Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane are the three forwards of the champions as they aim to even the points at the top of the table.
