Jurgen Klopp says he will give Virgil van Dijk plenty of time to get back to to his Liverpool best as he talked up the improvements made by Fabinho in recent weeks.
Van Dijk returned to the side in last week's 2-0 win at Newcastle but was also part of the starting lineup that lost 5-2 to Real Madrid on Tuesday night as the Reds shipped five in a European game for the first time at home.
Prior to his comeback at St James' Park last Saturday, Netherlands captain Van Dijk had sat out the previous seven-and-a-half games after being withdrawn at half time of the 3-1 loss at Brentford on January 2.
