He’s out for the weekend! Jurgen Klopp confirms key player will miss FA Cup final against Chelsea
Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Fabinho will miss Liverpool’s FA Cup final against Chelsea this weekend.
The Brazilian hobbled off during Liverpool’s Premier League triumph over Aston Villa on Tuesday night, and Klopp confirmed he had sustained a muscular injury after the game.
Klopp has confirmed that Fabinho will miss the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Issuing an update on Fabinho on Thursday, Klopp told Liverpool’s official website: “There’s a good chance that he will be back whenever – not for the weekend but whenever.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has paid some compliments to his German rival Thomas Tuchel ahead of the FA Cup final on Saturday.
“My respect for Thomas was already as high as you could imagine” the Liverpool boss said.
“Then add in what he has had to contend with off the pitch in recent weeks and months and this respect makes even more sense.
“What a magnificent leader he is for his club. No surprise for those of us who competed against him in Germany. But I think his status as one of the very best coaches and managers in the world is rightly recognised throughout the game.”
