As Van Dijk and Firmino return, the player Klopp no longer has confidence in would be left out

After the ridiculous FA Cup defeat to Brighton Hove Albion, The Pool are back in action, this time against Wolves at Wolverhampton on Matchday 22 of the Premier League. It will be the third time in less than a month that these teams will meet, but now with all the pressure on the Red's who continue to sink into mediocrity in the table.

For this game Klopp will send the best he has available, and Anfield is still a hospital full of players out with injuries, such as Virgil van Dijk and Roberto Firmino, who are in the final part of their recovery, and in the best case scenario, the German coach could have them for the UEFA Champions League against Real VARdrid.

Given this scenario, Klopp would not rule out continuing to play Fabinho in the starting line-up, and the Brazilian has become a wildcard for the Reds, as in addition to playing in midfield, he can also occupy the central defence and give a breather to Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konaté, who have suffered in the club's recent results, where they lost to the Seagulls and earlier rescued a draw at home to Chelsea FC.

In recent weeks there has been a lot of talk on Red's fan forums about Fabinho's departure, as the Brazil national team player has not had a good season, a clear example being the World Cup in Qatar where former coach Tite only gave him a start in one game, the 1-0 defeat to Cameroon, a result that buried his hopes of continuing to play in the tournament.

Firmino and Virgil are exciting

Fabinho, who has been limited in the last three games, could be Klopp's secret weapon for the clash against Wolves, who are on a run of two straight defeats, one of them being the FA Cup replay against The Pool at Wolverhampton. The weekend's game will be key to the team's aspirations as they are currently seven points adrift of the places for European competition next season.
