Jürgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool will be without Fabinho for visiting West Ham.
The Brazilian midfielder, who was represented in the defense instead of Virgil van Dijk, sustained a thigh injury when the Champions League clash against Midtjylland on Tuesday evening.
Reds boss Klopp said: “He will be out the weekend and probably a little longer.”

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp informs us about Virgil van Dijk’s operation and announces that his successor Fabinho will miss the game against West Ham this weekend.
However, captain Jordan Henderson is ready to play a role after his midweek half-time substitution while Van Dijk has undergone “successful” knee surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament damage suffered in the Merseyside derby. Thiago Alcantara builds up his fitness and is assessed.
To inform West Ham Striker Michail Antonio was banned from Liverpool trip on Saturday but David Moyes hopes he won’t be absent for too long.
West Ham striker Michail Antonio has been key so far this season
Antonio, who has scored three goals this season and 11 since the restart, hobbled away from Manchester City last weekend with a hamstring injury.
Sebastien Haller or Andriy Yarmolenko will replace Antonio in attack. Said Benrahma could also join the squad for the first time since moving from Brentford.

A look at some of the key stats around the games in the Premier League week seven
Liverpool’s ‘injury crisis’ could lead some predictors to trust West Ham this Saturday night. Don’t go there.
The long-term injury of Virgil van Dijk gave Jürgen Klopp a lot to think about when choosing the central defender. He may have to turn to the youth as it is unclear whether Joel Matip has recovered from a muscle injury to play at Anfield.
With Alisson back in goal, Liverpool will certainly be strong enough to hold it tight enough at the back, especially with the front three looking scorching hot on the other end. In my opinion, the drop from Alisson to Adrian is far greater than that from Van Dijk to Matip.

WATCH FOR FREE: Highlights of West Ham v Manchester City in the Premier League
I wouldn’t be surprised if a run took shape in Liverpool between now and Christmas.
Liverpool’s potentially makeshift defense will have an easier time than if Mikhail Antonio were fit. His injury takes a heavy blow to David Moyes, who intelligently made Antonio’s skills an integral part of the way West Ham counters. Without him, West Ham will lose the ball away from home – it was the trigger for the impressive win in Leicester. In two games in which Antonio went missing on the street under Moyes, West Ham lost both games by a total of 5-1.
If Liverpool scores early, the floodgates can open here.
JONES KNOWS PREDICTION: 3-0 (9/1 with Sky Bet)
