Following the match Jurgen Klopp issued an injury update on the former Monaco man.
The boss said: "Fabinho has pain, so that's not good.

"We will know more maybe tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow. That's it."
Fabinho was already set to miss this weekend's Premier League meeting with Brighton at Anfield after picking up a one-match ban following the yellow card he received in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
