Fabinho's wife Rebeca Tavares responds after Liverpool star's exclusion from Brazil Copa America squad

Rebeca Tavares has spoken out following Fabinho's exclusion from the Brazil Copa America squad.

The Brazilian WAG married Fabinho in 2015, after they first got together in 2013.

Over the course of the midfielder's career at Anfield , Rebeca has been present at most of his matches, including Champions League clashes.

And despite Fabinho proving to be a reliable figure for Reds boss Jurgen Klopp , he has not been included in Brazil's national squad.

However, Liverpool teammates Alisson Becker and Roberto Firmino were confirmed as selections ahead of the tournament in June.

As the team choice was announced, Rebeca appeared to respond to the news - and she did not take it very well.

Posting on Twitter, Rebeca simply captioned a tweet with two 'confused' emojis.

But fans were quick to reply with messages of support for the Brazil national.

One wrote: "Tell Fabinho I love him."

And another said: "Absolutely ridiculous that Fab isn’t in the Brazil squad!! Been unbelievable this season!"

This isn't the first time Rebeca has championed her husband.

Last year, she hit out at rumours linking husband Fabinho with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Ahead of  Liverpool ’s Champions League clash with the French side,  reports in L’Equipe  suggested the French giants would use the occasion to talk to the Reds about signing the Brazilian on loan in January.

However, an unimpressed Tavares took to Twitter to have her say on the rumours, branding them ‘Fake News’.
