Fabinho Reveals the Player Who Jurgen Klopp Views as 'Irreplaceable' at Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp could not do without Roberto Firmino in his Liverpool squad - according to the striker's fellow countryman Fabinho.

Firmino - who arrived from Hoffenheim for a fee of £29m four years ago - has amassed 66 goals in 191 appearances for the Merseyside outfit in all competitions. However, it is not just his attacking skillset that makes him such an integral part of Klopp's team, with his work-rate and dedication of equal importance to the German's preferred style of play.

Firmino's Brazilian compatriot Fabinho was only purchased from Monaco last summer in a £39m deal, yet the latter has already been impressed by his countryman's abilities.
