Liverpool have been boosted by the news that Fabinho has returned to light training, according to the Mirror.
The Brazilian limped off late on in the 4-3 win over Crystal Palace last Saturday, having aggravated his hamstring.
There were worries that he could face an extended spell on the sidelines, but those fears have been allayed.
Fabinho is back in training for the Reds and should be available to start at home to Leicester City next Wednesday.
A severe shortage at right-back for Liverpool means Fabinho could start there against the Foxes, in a role he plays for Brazil.
James Milner is suspended for the game, Rafa Camacho is vastly inexperienced and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and Ki-Jana Hoever are all injured.
The report does state that Liverpool will deal with Fabinho’s return “carefully”, but there is relief that the injury is not serious.
The 24-year-old has recovered from a slow start to become a key player for the Reds, showcasing his expertise and influence in the middle of the park.
