Speaking on the FA Cup’s YouTube channel, Fabinho has named James Milner, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah as the three strongest players at Liverpool.

The Reds have some incredibly strong footballers in their ranks. The likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Jordan Henderson are incredibly imposing on the pitch, but according to Fabinho, Milner, Mane and Salah are three of the strongest in the squad.

What’s been said?

Fabinho spoke about the strongest players at Liverpool.

“Who is the strongest in the gym?” Fabinho was asked.

“Maybe, Millie (James Milner), Sadio and Mo, these three are always in the gym,” Fabinho said.

Surprising

This is somewhat surprising to hear, especially when you consider each player’s key attributes on the pitch.

James Milner has always been renowned for his stamina, while Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah’s speed is what makes them two of the best attackers on the planet.

Stamina and speed don’t really compliment being strong in the gym. After all, extra muscle mass will weigh you down somewhat, but it seems as though these three have struck the right balance.

Fabinho says that Mane, Salah and Milner are the three strongest players at the club, and while that may be true, we can’t help but feel that a certain Mr van Dijk may have something to say about this claim.
