Jurgen Klopp has ruled one midfielder out of Saturday’s clash against Brighton, although another is poised for a return to the Liverpool squad.
Fabinho suffered a knee injury in the Champions League win at Atletico Madrid and was absent for the trashing of Manchester United. Nabi Keita, meanwhile, was on the end of a shocking challenge from Paul Pogba in that game, but there is better news on him.
Speaking ahead of the Seagulls clash, Klopp said: “Naby Keita looks good, he was lucky. I think he’s ready. Fabinho doesn’t look that good, not too complicated but likely to keep him out again. Not in team training yet.”
The Reds boss also admits that having selection issues is always healthy, especially when he has so many top players to choose from.
He added: “I have to make a few decisions – thank God! It means we have options. Bad times is when you don’t have them.
