# Liverpool: Fans fume over Fabinho latest setback

**Many Liverpool fans were livid over reports that Fabinho will miss Saturday’s Merseyside derby against Everton at Anfield.**

The 27-year-old was [absent](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-training-fabinho-alisson-becker-19869462) from Thursday’s training session as the Reds prepared to overturn their dismal recent Premier League form, and The Athletic’s James Pearce has since [relayed](https://twitter.com/JamesPearceLFC/status/1362749305426235394) via Jurgen Klopp’s press conference that the Brazilian will not be available against the Toffees.

Fabinho has been [deputising](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115916/MatchStatistics/Fabinho) at centre-back due to their catastrophic injury crisis, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip all out with season-ending injuries.

Typically a defensive midfielder, the Brazil international has played just [three](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115916/MatchStatistics/Fabinho) times in his natural position this season, and [14](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115916/MatchStatistics/Fabinho) of those outings have been at centre-half.

With this in mind, supporters were incensed by Fabinho’s possible absence in what will be a seismic encounter for the red side of Stanley Park, making their feelings clear to [Watch LFC](https://twitter.com/Watch_LFC/status/1362468264702586880) on Twitter.
