# Boost for Liverpool as Fabinho appears to be back in training

[Fabinho](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/11/06/klopp-provides-positive-injury-update-oxlade-chamberlain-fabinho/)appears to be back in training for Liverpool, judging by his social media activity on Friday.

The Brazilian has been missing since picking up a [hamstring injury](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2020/10/28/liverpool-fans-bemoan-worrying-hamstring-injury-to-fabinho/) against Midtjylland last month, adding to the Reds’ [current injury woes](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php).

The hope is that he will be available for the visit of Leicester City on Saturday week, especially with Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez [both possibly absent for the rest of the season](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php).

On Friday, Fabinho posted a photo on Instagram showing him arriving at Liverpool’s new AXA Training Centre, as highlighted by [@LFCTS](https://twitter.com/LFCTS/status/1327187352377298945?s=20) on Twitter.

It could be that he is there to receive continued treatment, of course, but that he has pointed out arriving for training suggests he could be back in action soon.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

The return of Fabinho will be enormous for Liverpool, especially given the current absences with which Jurgen Klopp has to contend. The 27-year-old was superb at centre-back before injury, excelling against [Chelsea](https://www.givemesport.com/1601164-chelsea-02-liverpool-fabinhos-individual-highlights-at-centreback-are-very-impressive) and [Ajax](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/15117/12110782/ajax-0-1-liverpool-fabinho-impresses-at-centre-back-as-reds-cope-without-injured-virgil-van-dijk) in particular.

With Liverpool [well-stocked in midfield](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/kadernachposition/verein/31), and with no [Van Dijk or Gomez](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12108544/joe-gomez-and-virgil-van-dijk-who-are-the-young-liverpool-players-to-cover-injured-duo) for many months, Fabinho will likely be predominantly used as a defender this season. With Joel Matip [injury-prone](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joel-matip/verletzungen/spieler/82105), the Brazilian could be the man tasked with holding the Reds’ defence together in 2020/21.
