Fabinho admits he’s ‘not totally settled yet’ at Liverpool

Fabinho admits he is “not totally settled just yet” since his £43.7m summer move to Liverpool.

Brazilian midfielder Fabinho moved to Merseyside from Monaco at the end of May.

The 25-year-old was expected to complement the midfield and add further defensive resilience and solidity to Jurgen Klopp’s side.

But he has been used sparingly by the manager, who is wary of the need to get Fabinho up to the pace of the Premier League.

Fabinho has started just four games all season, faring relatively well against both Cardiff and Red Star, but struggling against Chelsea and Arsenal.

And to the surprise of no-one, had admits he is still getting to grips with his new team.

“I’m not totally settled just yet,” he said.

“I’m still adapting to here but I believe that I’m now used to the football style, especially when it comes to the intensity of the game which is really different from the league that I came from.

“Also, I’m feeling well at the club. I can communicate well with my team-mates, even though my English isn’t great. The language barrier is one of the issues so far.

“Regarding the managers, I’m adapted to their training sessions and I’m comfortable with that. I’m now playing more regularly, which is also important.

“I’m on the right track to completely adapting to England.”
