Jurgen Klopp has addressed Fabio Carvalho's lack of first team football, insisting that it is no fault of the player.

The Reds signed Carvalho for a fee in the region of £5m in the summer after he played a starring role for Fulham on their path to winning the Championship last season.

He featured in 11 of their first 13 Premier League games but has played in just one of the following 10, a three-minute cameo against Southampton.

The 20-year-old hasn't even made the squad in two of their last three games and fans were starting to think Klopp has lost faith.
