  • Fabinho missed Liverpool’s clash at Tottenham due to a ‘minor muscle issue’
  • The defensive midfielder has been a makeshift Reds centre back due to injuries 
  • In his absence, Joel Matip and makeshift defender Jordan Henderson started

Liverpool’s problems in the heart of their defence have continued with makeshift centre back Fabinho now out injured.

The defensive midfielder has been filling in brilliantly at centre back for the Reds with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip having missed large chunks of the season due to injuries. Van Dijk and Gomez are currently still on the sidelines.

Jurgen Klopp’s side travelled to top-four rivals Tottenham in the Premier League on Thursday night and were dealt a blow by Fabinho’s absence due to a ‘minor muscle issue’.
