Liverpool summer signing from French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco has been out of action since the preseason and he hasn’t debut for the Merseyside Reds.

The Reds manager Jurgen Klopp has ask for calm over the Brazilian returning to the squad, claiming the former Real Madrid player still needs time to a adjust to English football but will make a debut for the club ‘soon’.

The Brazil midfielder appeared to struggle in pre-season so has been taken out of the limelight following a £43.7million transfer from Monaco.

Fabinho has been absent from Klopp’s first XI and bench in the last three games with speculation around his fitness.
 
His manager has confirmed he could have played if needed but instead will blood him after the international break when the fixture start coming thick and fast as he attempts to get him ready for the rigours of the English top-flight.
 
“The team is good and he needs time,” Klopp said.
 
“He could have been in the squad, of course, but it’s quite difficult to make the squad at the moment because they are all fit.
 
“It’s good to have the situation as one might need a bit of time, or the others are more used to it. That’s the only reason.
 
“But he will come back. And now we have games every three days, and he has made big steps in the last few weeks. He could even play at the moment.

“Hopefully now Fabinho has games with Brazil, and then after he comes back we have games, games, games.
 
“We have the whole of September a lot of games, only against top teams. We need all of the players, that’s good.
 
“We have come through the period where it looked like we didn’t need all of them because we played quite a consistent line-up and the level in training was high. That’s all cool. Hopefully they all come back healthy as we have to use them all because of the number of games.”
