Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp provides fresh injury update on midfielder Fabinho

Jurgen Klopp has provided an injury update ahead of Liverpool's trip to Southampton on Tuesday night.

The Reds will be looking to crank up the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City with a win over Ralph Hasenhuttl's side on the south coast. They currently sit four points behind the Citizens and a victory for the Reds will take them to within touching distance of their rivals ahead of the final day of the season.

However, Liverpool will be without Fabinho for the clash with the Saints after the midfielder picked up an injury in the 2-1 win over Aston Villa last Tuesday. The Brazil international also missed the FA Cup final on the weekend but is expected to be back in time for the Champions League final later this month.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Klopp said: "Progressing very well but won't be involved tomorrow [against Southampton]."

Meanwhile, Klopp is expected to make a late decision on the fitness of Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Djik after the pair were taken off in the penalty shootout win over Chelsea at Wembley. The German boss added he has a "lot of decisions" to make on his squad ahead of the game.

Liverpool have played the joint-most amount of games out of any Premier League side this season alongside Chelsea (59). But the Reds will overtake Thomas Tuchel's side when they face Real Madrid on May 28.

In comparison, Southampton have played just 42 games in all competitions to date. Klopp's men have also been in action three times since Saints last kicked a ball - something the German isn't best pleased about.
