Liverpool fans have been gushing on Twitter over the latest fitness update to Fabinho.
This comes after Liverpool fan Twitter account @AnfieldEdition shared a post on their page revealing that Fabinho could make his long-awaited return to the squad for their game against Tottenham.
Does Fabinho get straight back into the team when fit?
Yes, immediately
No, give him time
This post comes in reference to an article from Goal that claimed the club hopes Fabinho will return to training this week ahead of the clash with Jose Mourinho’s side on Saturday.
This post then gathered a number of replies from Liverpool fans who were over the moon with this latest update.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans excited by Fabinho’s close return:

This is going to be the key for the title push – getting our men back to fitness and in form, for the stretch between the festive season and the run in.

The Brazilian has been sidelined since November after picking up a serious ankle ligament injury in their 1-1 draw against Napoli. But now that news has emerged that Fabinho could potentially make his return this weekend if he manages to get back training this week, it has gone down well with the fans on Twitter.
Never thought I’d say he will have to fight for his place back in the team..

He’s got to earn his place again to be fair. That’s the way it should be for all of them. That’s what keeps teams ahead

What do we think?
Fabinho’s return will provide a huge boost for Liverpool as it adds an extra option for midfield and the defence. The Brazilian’s return will also allow players like Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita a rest should one of them make way for Fabinho in the team.
