Loads of Liverpool fans have been reacting to a fitness boost for Jurgen Klopp, as Fabinho could be set to return to the squad for Saturday’s clash against Tottenham.
While many will point towards the influence of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker when talking about the Reds’ recent success, Liverpool’s £39m swoop for Fabinho may have been just as important.
The Brazil international fits perfectly into Klopp’s philosophy, winning balls high up the pitch and spreading play with his range of passing, and he could now be back in contention to face Spurs.
According to Goal, both Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri could return to training this week, meaning they could also be available for a place in Saturday’s squad.
While the report does not definitively say the tough-tackling Brazilian will be fit for the trip to north London, the fact that he is so close to resuming training is a massive boost for Klopp in the title race.
