Speaking at his pre-match press conference (via Liverpoolfc.com) before the FA Cup final on Friday, Klopp allayed fears however that the 28-year-old could miss the final.
The Brazilian limped off during Liverpool's 2-1 victory at Aston Villa on Tuesday with a hamstring injury and reports earlier in the week led to uncertainty as to whether he will be fit for the trip to Paris.
So he is absolutely OK.”
UEFA's showpiece event will take place on Saturday, 28th May but Klopp will hope to see Fabinho back in action before then with two key Premier League games remaining against Southampton and Wolves.
That’s how it is.
