Jurgen Klopp delivers update on Fabinho ahead of Red Star Belgrade match

Jurgen Klopp believes it is time to start Liverpool £43million summer signing Fabinho as he believes the player has already learnt his tactics. The Brazilian has struggled to find his feet, making just one competitive start so far for his new club — in the Carabao Cup. And now he believes Fabinho knows enough to make everything click for the Mersey club, and provide a new dimension of quality. “We already made the decision he is the right player, yes — when we signed him. He has the qualities, all the qualities,” said the manager. “Hard challenges. Good offensively, defensively. Quick. Good shooter. Fantastic set-pieces. Good header... all these things. Good strategically too, in the right moment. “He's just a fantastic addition and can improve us from a specific moment on. “It's his birthday by the way. So it would be a nice present, eh? “It's got better and better from him and now it's good. I didn't decide how we will start but of course it is very important for us he's here for a few months already, got used to a few things... so we will use him.”
