Liverpool (AP) – Champions League finalist Liverpool FC will have to do without midfielder Fabinho in the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday.
In the final of the premier class on May 28 against Real Madrid, the Brazilian soccer international could be back, said coach Jürgen Klopp. “There’s a good chance he’ll be available. There’s a difference if we have him or not. But it’s all right. Those are normal things that happen.”
Fabinho was substituted with a thigh strain in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League. Fabinho is also likely to miss the last two league games against Southampton and Wolverhampton, where the Reds are still up against Manchester City for the championship.
Liverpool had already won the English League Cup in February on penalties (11:10) against Chelsea coached by Thomas Tuchel and could win their second title of the season on Saturday.
