Brazilian midfielder Fabinho has revealed who the only Liverpool player he has watched successfully win the ball from Virgil van Dijk in training is.
Speaking to De Sola in Brazil, Fabinho admitted Roberto Firmino was the only player he saw win the ball from Van Dijk .
The former Monaco man said: "I'm usually on his team, thank God.
"The only guy I've ever seen winning a ball from him on training was Firmino. Only once."
Having been omitted from Brazil's Copa America winning squad, Fabinho was able to return to Melwood for pre-season training last week.
The 25-year-old will likely play a part as Jurgen Klopp's side take on Tranmere Rovers this Thursday.

Van Dyk is not as good as this guy wants us to believe. Matip, Alexander Arnold , Fabinho etc do the hard defensive work for him. Liverpool is strong defensively. That's why people now see his prowess. before joining Liverpool his frailties were visible. He is hardly attacked and plays more as a traditional sweeper to just deal with the lose ends. if he was at Manchester United this season he would have been a nobody. it's team work not individual brilliance
