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.
