The teenager who was playing non-league in March, a 6ft 4in French starlet or a Dutchman who models his game on Virgil van Dijk? Who Jurgen Klopp can turn to after Fabinho's injury saw Liverpool's defensive crisis go from bad to worse

It was the moment Liverpool fans around the world had been fearing most.

With just 30 minutes on the clock inside a cold and muted Anfield stadium, Brazilian star Fabinho pulled up clutching his hamstring, agony spreading across his face.

Jurgen Klopp's trusted and perhaps most versatile lieutenant could play no further part against Midtjylland, as Liverpool were left to tackle the remainder of the Champions League group stage tie without him.

The face of Jordan Henderson said it all. Leering over the top of physio Chris Morgan who was busy treating a grimacing Fabinho, the Liverpool captain let out a deep, exasperated breath while placing his head in his hands.
