Fabinho has returned to light training at Liverpool.
The Mirror says Liverpool were facing a pivotal Premier League clash with Leicester next week without a fit or available recognised right-back.
The Anfield manager has James Milner suspended for the game next Wednesday, and injury worries surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and even youngster Ki-Jana Hoever.
Fabinho limping out of the game against Crystal Palace last weekend with what was feared a serious hamstring injury left only 18-year-old Rafael Camacho, who is really a winger, to fill in on the right side of defence.
But Liverpool medics are now extremely hopeful Fabinho will be fit to play once the Reds return to England from their warm-weather training camp in Dubai.
