Fabinho’s injury was “exactly the last thing we needed”, said Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp after the club’s defensive problems mounted during their Champions League victory over Midtjylland.
The Brazilian joined Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip on the sidelines after pulling up with a hamstring injury during the 2-0 Group D win at Anfield.
Midfielder Fabinho has been filling in for Van Dijk in the centre of defence since the Netherlands international suffered a serious knee injury in the Merseyside derby against Everton on 17 October.
Asked about Fabinho’s injury, Klopp said: “He felt his hamstring, and that’s not good.
“He said he could have played on but no sprints, which doesn’t help. We will see, we will know more after a scan but clearly it isn’t good.”
