Fabinho misses Tottenham game as Liverpool get fresh injury headache

Liverpool seemingly have another injury headache to contend with after Fabinho was missing from the Reds' squad for Thursday's Premier League clash with Tottenham.

The Brazil international has been a key performer for Jurgen Klopp's side at the heart of defence this season, helping to fill the void left by the injured Virgil van Dijk.

Fabinho has helped Liverpool stay within touch in the Premier League title race but they went into the Spurs game seven points behind leaders Manchester City. Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson were named as central defenders with James Milner starting in midfield.
