# Liverpool: Fans react as Fabinho ruled out of Leicester City clash

**Many Liverpool fans were incensed after manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Fabinho will miss their Saturday lunchtime trip to Leicester City.**

Speaking during his pre-match press conference (via [Paul Joyce](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1360189618537324547)), the German tactician confirmed that the 27-year-old will not be making the journey to the King Power Stadium due to a muscle issue.

Fabinho has been turned into a makeshift centre-back due to the first team’s ongoing injury crisis that has disrupted the champions’ momentum this season.

All three of their defenders at the start of the 2020/21 campaign, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, have all been ruled out with [season-ending injuries](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/liverpool-injury-news-latest-list-alisson-thiago-alexander-arnold-robertson-henderson-780156). This led to the Merseysiders [signing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/transfers/verein/31) Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies on Deadline Day.

As a result, supporters were livid about the latest setback during a season that has been troublesome for them from almost the first kick, making their feeling clear towards [Joyce](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1360189618537324547) on Twitter.
