da doce: [ad_pod ]Liverpool eventually overcame Chelsea on penalties to win the Super Cup in Istanbul on Wednesday night, but the success may have come at a cost ahead of the weekend.120 minutes wasn’t enough to separate the two Premier League clubs, and it meant that some Reds individuals played 210 minutes of football in the space of five days – one of those was midfielder Fabinho.It has been alleged on Twitter that the Brazilian got through more than 12km of running against Norwich City on Friday, and then through a further 14.44km against Frank Lampard’s men.
At the very beginning of a season that work rate is always going to have its effects, and it seemed to be the case for the 25-year-old as he suffered cramp on the pitch in Turkey, needing to be helped by teammate Virgil van Dijk and then by a club physio before the shoot-out, all the while with a grimace on his face.
He may have been barely able to walk come the final whistle but he still managed to step up and put his penalty away when it came down to the crunch.
His situation previous to that is more than worrying however with just over 48 hours to go until Jurgen Klopp’s men face Southampton at St Mary’s.
Changes may be on the cards on the south coast.
