Jurgen Klopp hopes Fabinho can use the example of Marcus Rashford to rediscover his best form.
Fabinho, 29, has gone from being a key figure in Liverpool’s success to being kept out of the team by 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic.
His fall from grace hit rock bottom in the FA Cup defeat at Brighton last Sunday, when he was lucky not be red-carded for a reckless challenge on Evan Ferguson.
Klopp admits Fabinho is one of several Liverpool players who have failed to hit the heights of previous seasons but believes the way Rashford has turned around his fortunes at Manchester United is an example they can use.
