Jurgen Klopp Praises Fabinho, Says Brazilian Could Start Against Red Star in UCL

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted that summer signing Fabinho may make his first UEFA Champions League start for the club on Wednesday against Red Star Belgrade.

Despite arriving for a reported £43.7 million in the summer, the Brazil international has not yet started a game in European competition or the Premier League for the Reds. The only competitive match for which he was included in the XI was the 2-1 Carabao Cup loss against Chelsea.

Fabinho was introduced to the game against Huddersfield Town on Saturday, helping Liverpool secure a 1-0 win.
