Fabinho and Virgil van Dijk Suffer Serious Injury

DBasia.news – Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp revealed Fabinho will be out for quite a long time. The Brazilian player was seen hobbling off the field in the match against Midtjylland in the Anfield Champions League, Wednesday (28/10).

The former AS Monaco midfielder is reported to have suffered a hamstring injury after playing less than half an hour in the match and had to be replaced by Rhys Williams.

The Reds won the match 2-0 thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah, but it was an expensive win for coach Jurgen Klopp’s side.

Fabinho is plotted to fill the center-back position to replace Virgil van Dijk, who is certain to be out for a long time due to a serious injury.

However, now Fabinho is also threatened with following the Dutch defender’s footsteps. Liverpool’s defense will now face a tough test in the absence of these two players.

“We have to wait for the clear scans, but you know these times when someone has a muscle problem, so it’s very rare for the doctor to call me the next morning and say: ‘False alarm, everything’s fine, he can go again,” said Klopp to beIN SPORTS.

“So now it’s just about how long (he’s been out). That’s all. And now a week means three games, 10 days means four games, 14 days means seven games and that kind of calculation. So that’s how it is. Yes, not at all cool but that’s the situation,” he added.

Klopp admits his side will now be forced to go through a rough patch due to an injury crisis at the back.

“It was a difficult night,” Klopp told BT Sports. “It’s like in a marriage, there are good times and bad times. It’s not a bad time but it’s a difficult time,” said Klopp.

“We have to stay 100 percent united and fight harder and that’s what the players did tonight. Losing Fabinho in the first half, Rhys Williams he was only 19 years old and I think he played more often in the Champions League than in the Premiere League games,” he concluded. the former Borussia Dortmund manager.
