midfielder Fabinho admits he was shocked to learn that teammate was leaving the club. The Brazilian is departing the club in the summer after the expiry of his contract. Firmino, who spent the past eight years with the Reds, had moved down the pecking order under this season. "This season, we were always asking him when he would sign a new contract: 'Come on, we want you to sign and stay with us'. We didn't expect him to go," stated Fabinho in an interview with Sky Sports News. "He's 31 years old so he has a lot to do.
He's someone who usually doesn't get injured and he struggled a little bit with the injuries.
