Jurgen Klopp confirms he may rest key man Fabinho for Villa clash

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that he may rest star midfielder Fabinho for the trip to Aston Villa this weekend.

The Brazilian is currently on four bookings, and another yellow card would see him be suspended for the Reds’ huge clash with Manchester City.

Therefore, the midfielder could be rested for the game, but, speaking in his pre-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp confirmed he has currently not made a decision on the matter.

This could be a huge boost to Aston Villa’s chances of victory this weekend, with Fabinho being a key player for the Reds.

With Naby Keita also being out, Klopp may have to rotate a bit if he wants to rest Fabinho.

Therefore, this has the potential to be a big boost to Villa’s chances of a result at Villa Park.
