# Liverpool: Fans gush as Fabinho spotted in training

**Many Liverpool fans were delighted to discover that makeshift centre-back Fabinho has made his return to first-team training.**

The [club’s official Twitter account](https://twitter.com/LFC/status/1357762491904851975) posted images of the 27-year-old back in action at the AXA Training Centre, who has been absent since his side’s [3-2](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55708043) defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup in January.

Normally a defensive midfielder, Fabinho has been playing at centre-back for [all but three](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/115916/MatchStatistics/Fabinho) Premier League games he has featured in this season – on the back of the club’s hugely unfortunate injury crisis.
