Jurgen Klopp will have to face the next Premier League game against Brighton and the Champions League game against Atletico Madrid without Fabinho. To make matters worse, Liverpool will also be without Thiago Alcántara.

Trouble for Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp himself admitted at a press conference that Fabinho could also be left out of the squad for the upcoming Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion.

But that's not all. The Brazilian midfielder would also not make it in time for the important Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday 3rd November.

"Fabinho's situation doesn't look so good. It's complicated, but not too complicated, but it's possible he could be out again. It's not a good signal that he still can't get training with the group," Klopp told a press conference.

The Brazil international is suffering from a knee injury that has already forced him to miss Liverpool's last three games, and that would also rule him out of the Reds' starting line-up for the next two matches.

But that is not the only problem for the German coach, as Thiago Alcantara is also not fit to return. The one who could be back is Keita: "Keita looks good. We were surprised, but he was lucky, I think he's ready.
