Jose Enrique has stated on Instagram that Fabio Carvalho won’t play for Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool again following his comments on-loan at RB Leipzig.
After joining Liverpool last summer from Fulham, the 20-year-old endured a difficult debut campaign at Anfield. After playing only 13 Premier League games last term, he joined RB Leipzig on loan.
Klopp decided that the Portuguese international needed to spend time away from Liverpool to gain first-team experience.
But the attack-minded midfielder has since told the media in Germany that his manager Jurgen Klopp ‘didn’t really speak to him’ and he ‘didn’t really give him advice.’
Fabio Carvalho to not play for Klopp or Liverpool again?
As per Goal, the Portuguese attacker wasn’t given the opportunity to showcase himself at Anfield.
Given the success Klopp has had on Merseyside, one standout trait of his has been the man-management skills he has showcased. Hence, Carvalho’s words have come out as a surprise for the fans.
However, he would return to Merseyside the next season. And he would be playing for Liverpool under Klopp if there are no other decisions made.
But, Enrique doesn’t think he will be a part of the plans after the comments he has made regarding Klopp.
“Saying that, I will be very surprised if he plays for Klopp again.”
Said Enrique in an Instagram comment section.
The player’s struggle at Anfield
A player who lit up the Championship stage with Fulham, the ball-carrying dazzler was expected to bring life into Liverpool’s team.
Whilst consistent performances weren’t expected, nor for the Portuguese star to break into the first-team, fans were looking for that magic and light.
But, instead, he struggled and proceeded to play less than 20 minutes of PL football from November onwards.
Despite their lack of depth in the midfield area, Klopp decided to send the player away from Anfield.
