The truth is out, as Klopp mistakenly revealed why Fabinho was left out against Leicester

Despite midfielder Fabinho Tavares being a player in demand by Jurgen Klopp at the start of the new season in England, the 29-year-old Brazilian international was surprisingly absent from the Reds' end-of-year clash against Leicester City, with the real reason for the manager's decision to leave him out of the 2-1 win over the Foxes not long ago.

It was a risky gamble for Klopp to have dispensed with Fabinho's services for the final game of 2022, justifying the Brazilian's absence from the clash after it emerged on Instagram that the player was welcoming his newborn baby, dedicating a brief message to his biggest and greatest treasure that life has given him. "Meu mau maior bem, meu mau maior tesouro".

Although the midfielder has been essential for the Reds in recent matches, the same club knows that their player cannot miss the biggest achievement at family level, giving him some time to share with his wife the happiness of the new member that many on social networks already place him as the new CM of the group, referring to the need of the team in that area and the great work that Fabinho has had every time he sees minutes of play.

There is no better way for this player than to have closed the year with a new member in his family and with his team winning in order to stay as high as possible in the standings, the Brazilian must channel all that happiness in a short period of time and turn it into good football in order to face the duel they will have on Monday against Brentford, looking for that stumble of the leaders to move to occupy their place and get fully into the European competitions.

While the issue of Bellingham, Caicedo and other players remains only rumours or pre-agreements, the Brazilian international will continue to occupy a regular place in Klopp's starting eleven, having a huge task to sustain until the reinforcements arrive, facing clubs like Chelsea or Newcastle United in January, and not to mention in February where Real Madrid will be their biggest headache in the Champions League.
