How Liverpool can replace midfield lynchpin with place in the record books in sight

Following the extent of Fabinho’s ankle injury being confirmed, the search for how to replace him is well underway.

Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum and Adam Lallana appear the three likely contenders, with Jurgen Klopp name checking each of the trio in his pre-match press conference ahead of Brighton and Hove Albion’s visit to Anfield.

Friday’s Blood Red podcast centres around the absence of the Brazilian, who’s ankle ligament injury could leave him sidelined for up to eight weeks.

Check in with the latest as Guy Clarke is joined by Ian Doyle, Paul Gorst and Matt Addison to talk through the week’s big talking points.

As well as which individual could step in to replace Fabinho, a change of system is also mooting, plus which players could thrive most with the opportunity of regular first team football.

Away from on-field matters, the proposed redevelopment of the Anfield Road stand is discussed as the Reds go about looking to equal a club record of consecutive games unbeaten at Anfield on Saturday.

You can also catch the panel giving their thoughts on Saturday’s opponents Brighton before getting on to selecting their teams for the game and giving match predictions.

Enjoy.
