Liverpool FC have confirmed Fabinho will be sidelined for the next 6- 8 weeks with a ankle injury.

 The Brazilian will miss roughly 10 games including the FIFA Club World Cup scheduled to be held in Qatar. 

 His absence will be felt, knowing he has developed into of the best holding midfielders in the world. But Liverpool have enough midfielders reckons Jurgen Klopp who has pinpointed 3 players who he think can play that role. 

 Naby Keita, Adam Lallana, Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson are the four players Klopp believe can play that role. 

Realistically, only Jordan Henderson can play that role perfectly due to his physical strength, tenacious tackling and discipline.. 

 "Naby is OK. No more injuries from Napoli other than Fabinho", Klopp told reporters during his press conference. 

 'It's an opportunity for someone, of course. Hendo, Gini and Lallana have all played it. We can system too. Losing a player of Fab's quality is a blow but we are not the only team with injuries."

 Asked which player can replace the Brazilian, Klopp replied: "The three players I've mentioned have played there. They bring a different quality. Gini was brilliant against Napoli. Hendo has played there really, really good. We just have to make it work.

Revealed: Why PSG will sell Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool and not Real Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain Sporting director Leonardo has slammed Zinedine Zidane assertion that Kylian Mbappe has always wanted to move to Real Madrid.  Zidane revealed during a press conference that he spoke with Mbappe and the french man dreams of playing at the prestigious Estadio Santiago Bernebeu.  But such statement has angered PSG chiefs especially Leornado who feels Zidane has really gone off track with such statement. "Honestly, it's a bit irritating, it's annoying, it's not the first time this has happened", Leonardo angrily told reporters.  "I think that now is not the time to talk about this. He is a player who has two-and-a-half years left on his contract with us, so to talk about what he wants, his 'dream', every time.. If we can just stop this, pause this talk.  "Kylian is a very important player for us. Now is not the time to destablise him".  Just as Barcelona failed to resign Neymar, Real Madrid could face similar pr...

Manchester City have joined the queue to sign one of Europe's finest player in Jadon Sancho reports Sport Bild.  The Borrusia Dortmund star was once an unproven star at City academy and later the firs team, but his determination to get better made him switch the Etihad Stadium to the Signal Iduna Park.  Now proven and billed as a future world class right forward, City are now back to take back what they lost.  Although signing Sancho won't be cheap, the 19-year-old England international will cost £100m to sign which frankly is too expensive.  United did spend £89m to bring back one of their academy product Paul Pogba from Juventus, City could trend the same line and resign the attacker this summer.

Why Harry Kane must consider joining Manchester City as Sergio Aguero's replacement

Harry Kane has reached the stage of his career when he has to think deeply about his future and ask himself if sticking with Tottenham Hotspur beyond this season will be good for his career or not.  The England international captain have spent 10 years at Spurs and only once have he come close to winning a meaningful trophy {2019 Champions League}. But in those years, Kane has developed into one of Europe's  top striker.  With Spurs he has scored 171 goals in 263 appearances and won the golden boot in 2 of the last 3 seasons.  Kane is top class striker but he knows he has to win trophies to become one of the best player in the world.

Arsene Wenger reveals 3 things Manchester City must do to beat Liverpool at Anfield

Arsenal's greatest manager Arsene Wenger agrees that the blockbuster encounter between Liverpool and Manchester City will decide the destination of the Premier League title but completely disagrees that Liverpool will easily beat Manchester City at home.  City have won at Anfield since 2003 while the club's leading marksmen Sergio Aguero is yet to score there since joining the club, wow!  Ending that feat will be Guardiola's quest but before achieving that fate, the manager must fix three things.  1. Defensively, City must be good-  Liverpool have the best front three in world football in Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and in form Sadio Mane, keep those three quiet and City have a 70% chance of winning or leaving with a draw.  The defensive must be tight, organised and composed..  2. Stop Liverpool's most creative player Trent Alexander Arnold from making attacking runs and crossing in dangerous balls into the 18-yard-box.  Tre...

CAF Awards: Is Sadio Mane really better than Man City star Riyad Mahrez

Its difficult to understand why Sadio Mane is the 2019 Africa Footballer of the Year whereas Riyad Mahrez lifted more trophies than him in Europe {4 to 1} and edge past in the final of the Africa Cup of Nation.  Mahrez helped Algeria win the Africa Cup for the Nation for the first time in 25-years which frankly should be enough to make him Africa's best player. He was simply unstoppable in Egypt and his three goals and 4 assists ensured Algeria where champions not Senegal or host nation Egypt.  CAF's decision to pick Sadio Mane ahead of Riyad Mahrez is simply because of Liverpool's winning streak and his immerse contribution to their course and nothing else. The organizing body failed to see the impact of Mahrez during league and cup matches with Manchester City as well as his world class impact during the just concluded Africa Cup of Nation.  With Algeria, he was simply unstoppable, he created more chances than Mane and Salah combined and scored the needed goals...

Can Manchester United really get a point or a win against Liverpool at Old Trafford?

How do you beat Liverpool? A question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff will have to find a solution in just two weeks time.  That solution to beating Liverpool will save Solskjaer job, reinvigorate his team and off course, make the blue half of Manchester love him.. He might even get a congratulatory call from Pep Guardiola.  But achieving that fate will hard. Liverpool are unbeaten in 8 games and are in a run of 17 consecutive wins. If they beat United at Old Trafford they will equal Manchester City's 18 match winning streak.  Liverpool's away form is terrifying, they've won their last eight away matches, scoring 15 goals while conceding just 4 goals. In over 48 matches, only Manchester City have succeeded in beating them and that was last season.  Put this way, Liverpool don't lose Premier League matches, the best you can get from them is a draw but even that draw is very hard to get.  United though will see the return of Aaron Wan- Bissa...
