Fabinho

Yeah but he'll be as rusty as ****, he's been out for a while.

I think this will be a rather open game and that will suit Henderson, Keita and Thiago.

Would be very suprised it is was an open game, at least on the Chelsea side of it.

Tuchel seems try to play Klopp at his own game (albeit with an extra defender on the pitch) every time he comes up against him as a manager and goes to press against Klopp teams especially in the middle where he gets one of his three CBs or a FB to push in to create an overload in the middle.

Think it could be a good game though in a close game sort of way rather than a free flowing entertaining game.

With a fair bit of success it has to be said...

This is true. But Klopp has broken that spell with the win in the LC, so will do it again against them on Saturday and I am so confident of that that I am willing to bet your site access on it


We win, you can stay here.

We lose, you're gone.


Deal. No backsies.

As long as we can get him back for some minutes against Wolves so that he is not too rusty for the CL final

FFS... The one player we cannot do without, imho.

We should sign a backup in the summer.

My confidence has dropped right off.

Maybe we could train Matip to play there.

FFS chaps, we have one of the strongest squads in the world. One Fabinho a summer doesn't make.

We were better against Villa when Henderson came on. Be brave !!

Offering an update on Thursday, Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com: "There's a good chance that he will be back whenever – not for the weekend but whenever."

Whenever, then.

We do have a great squad, but at the same time any of the best teams would miss a player as good as Fabinho.

Henderson, Thiago and Keita for Saturday it is then.

"whenever"

Definitely back for CL final then. I'll take that. Bit of a break might do him good anyway.

Klopp is usually so coy about injuries, bit mad he's so confident of Fab being back, feels fishy

Could be that he knows 100% it is just something small enough that makes tomorrow's game too soon but that Fab might be back for Tuesday or Next weekend for sure.



Or he is doing an out of character bit of mind games and Fab suddenly turns up on the tean sheet tomorrow.

Wouldn't totally surprise me.

Did he actually rule him out for tomorrow, the various quotes I seen only mentioned CL, nothing else?

I thought he originally said no chance for the FA cup final and no estimated return date after that.

So the switch to suddenly sounding 100% sure for the CL final is a bit interesting.

Or might be mind games in the sense that Klopp knows Fab cannot start tomorrow but wants Tuchel to think he might.
