Liverpool ace Fabinho claimed Virgil van Dijk is Jurgen Klopp's favourite player at Anfield in a hilarious Q&A on social media.

The 27-year-old is currently enjoying some down time on holiday in Mykonos ahead of the new Premier League season after suffering heartbreak with Brazil in the Copa America final earlier this month.

While soaking up the Greek sun he decided to stage a Q&A session for Reds supporters on Instagram, giving them a glimpse of his Scouse accent while poking fun at team-mate Joel Matip.

And when asked which player is Klopp's favourite on Merseyside, Fabinho simply replied: "VVD [Virgil van Dijk]".

Van Dijk is edging closer towards his long-awaited return from injury, having suffered damage to his ACL back in October.

The Dutchman has been stepping up his rehabilitation alongside centre-back partner Joe Gomez, who sustained the same injury a month later.

Fabinho was also asked for his favourite tackle of his career, replying with a photo of his wind lunge on Luis Suarez in 2019.

Do you think Liverpool will reclaim the Premier League title next season? Let us know in the comments section below.

He captioned the picture with: "Just ball ref."

The Brazilian then teased Matip when asked who is faster out of the two of them, saying: "Of course it's me."

He was a little more modest when asked who the most talented player at Anfield is, sharing a photo of Roberto Firmino sleeping with the caption "Si Señor".

Fabinho has been given an extended holiday after plying his trade for Brazil at the Copa America, where he suffered an agonising defeat against Argentina in the final.

There are just under three weeks to go until Liverpool get the 2021/22 campaign underway at Norwich, with friendlies against Hertha Berlin, Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna still to come before that curtain raiser.

The Reds then follow their trip to Carrow Road up with the visit of Burnley on August 21 before Chelsea arrive at Anfield on August 28.
