Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker was pleased for Fabinho after he started for Brazil's win over the USA.
It was the midfielder's first competitive minutes of the season.
Alisson said, “Fabinho did very well, as did all the defence,
“He played in a position to which he's no longer accustomed, and today went very well, winning the penalty and helping out with the marking."
All three of Liverpool's Brazil representatives, which also include Roberto Firmino, will be hoping for more game time in the friendly against El Salvador in Washington early on Wednesday morning.
