Liverpool have been handed a hopeful update on the fitness of Fabinho after he was withdrawn due to injury during Tuesday's win over Aston Villa.
The 28-year-old lasted just half an hour of the Premier League clash at Villa Park before being substituted with a hamstring problem, to be replaced by captain Jordan Henderson. His side went on to secure a 2-1 victory without their midfield enforcer after coming from behind to earn all three points thanks to Sadio Mane's winner.
But the shine was taken off Liverpool's evening despite them putting more pressure on rivals Manchester City in the title race, as concern for Fabinho tempered any post-match enthusiasm. Jurgen Klopp's side have a crucial period ahead where they play four games in 14 days, including Saturday's FA Cup final, as well as the Champions League final later this month.
