Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has raved about Fabinho on the club’s official website.
Adrian has been impressed by how Fabinho has done in central defence in the absence of Virgil van Dijk.
Van Dijk is one of the best centre-backs in the world, but the Netherlands international could miss the rest of the season due to the injury he suffered against Everton in the Merseyside derby last weekend, as reported by The Guardian.
Fabinho, who is a defensive midfielder by trade, slotted in at centre-back for the defending Premier League champions’ opening Champions League Group D game against Ajax away from home in the Amsterdam on Wednesday evening.
