Liverpool await further news on Fabinho’s issue.

And speaking on the latest setback The Reds boss said: “I don’t know [how bad it is]. He felt the muscle, not too much.

“He is quite positive but I’m not sure what I can make of that, to be honest. We will see.

“I think the rest came through without problems.

“He [Fabinho] has a good feeling and that gives me a better feeling than I had and I took him off. What that means, I don’t know yet.”

Meanwhile, Klopp confirmed that Andy Robertson was rested against Villa, having been omitted from the match-day squad.

“Robbo was not in the squad because I wanted to give him just a rest at home and bring another striker into the squad if we needed, that’s it.

“Apart from that, we should be fine.”
