Liverpool dealt injury blow ahead of FA Cup final as Fabinho is ruled OUT of clash with Chelsea following injury against Aston Villa... though Jurgen Klopp is optimistic the Brazilian will return for the Champions League final

Jurgen Klopp insists Liverpool have no option but to just keep going after he confirmed Fabinho will miss the FA Cup Final.

But Liverpool’s manager is confident that the key Brazil midfielder has not suffered the kind of damage to his left hamstring that will prevent him from lining up against Real Madrid in the Champions League final in 16 days.

Fabinho is one Klopp’s most trusted players but he will take no further action in the domestic campaign after he pulled up during the first half of Tuesday’s 2-1 win at Aston Villa and the manner in which he went down caused significant alarm.
