Fabinho pleased with progress in new defensive role for LiverpoolFabinho has played in central defence in Liverpool's last two matchesLiverpool midfielder Fabinho believes he has adapted well to his makeshift role in central defence. Fabinho says Virgil van Dijk has helped him adapt to his new roleJurgen Klopp could play Fabinho in defence again on Saturday when Crystal Palace visit Anfield, while James Milner remains another option for the Reds boss. "Some weeks ago, I knew this could be an option because we had some players out injured and we only had two centre-backs available," Fabinho told Liverpool's website. "If I were to play in this position more, I'd improve on these things, but that's natural." He understands things about us, things we need to improve on."
