Klopp: Fabinho can follow Robbo's path

The Brazil international enjoyed a fourth appearance of his debut campaign with the Reds when he was introduced as a second-half substitute at Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

With Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita ruled out of Wednesday’s Champions League tie against Red Star Belgrade, an opportunity could open up for Fabinho in midfield.

And Klopp believes the summer signing’s adaptation has progressed sufficiently to now show just why Liverpool swooped to recruit him from AS Monaco.

“He has all the qualities; hard challenges, good offensively, good defensively, quick, good shooter, fantastic set-pieces, good header – all these things,” said the manager.
