Liverpool midfielder Fabinho will be suspended against Manchester City if he gets a yellow card against Aston Villa.
The Reds will take on Villa away from home at Villa Park in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Fabinho has been playing well for Liverpool this season, but the 26-year-old defensive midfielder is just one yellow card away from suspension.
With the Merseyside outfit facing defending champions and title rivals Manchester City next weekend, if the Brazil international is show a yellow card today, then he will be suspended for the game against the Citizens at Anfield.
Klopp has admitted that he is not sure what to do regarding Fabinho – whether to play him against Villa or not.
Klopp told The Liverpool Echo about Fabinho: “I don’t know yet [whether he will play]. I will have to see.
“I know he is [one booking away]. No challenges at all! It is not possible to play against Villa without tackles. We know it. We have to deal with this information, either him or me with the line-ups.”
Risky
Fabinho is a very good player, but there is always a chance that he could get a booking against a very strong and combative Villa side.
Perhaps keeping the Brazilian on the substitutes’ bench unless he is absolutely needed would be a better option than including him in the starting lineup against Villa.
