Liverpool midfielder Fabinho will be out for more than a month after suffering ankle ligament damage during this week's Champions League clash with Napoli, the club said on Friday.
The Brazilian, who has this season established himself as a first-choice pick for Jurgen Klopp's Premier League leaders, was substituted after just 18 minutes of the 1-1 draw at Anfield on Wednesday.
Liverpool have announced that the 26-year-old will play no part in their congested run of 10 games between now and the end of December.

"The Brazilian will begin a rehabilitation programme with the Reds' medical team at Melwood as he works his way back to full fitness.
