Liverpool star Fabinho has revealed how dedicated his team-mates are to the cause this season – admitting that Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah all turn up at the gym an hour before training.
Jurgen Klopp‘s men are cruising to a first Premier League crown in 30 years in an unbeaten season so far that has seen just one point dropped, and the Reds have shown on the pitch that they are ready to give everything to secure the title.

Fabinho has heaped praise on his Liverpool team-mates as they push towards the league title
‘(Jordan) Henderson and (James) Milner know how to transmit motivation,’ he said in an interview with Spanish newspaper El Pais. ‘The team is receptive because it is very professional.
‘But for the team it is incredible that their three stars, Mané, Salah and Firmino, are inexhaustible. They are every day an hour before in the gym. They always want more!’
The Brazilian also reserved praise for Liverpool’s two attacking full backs Alexander Trent-Arnold and Andy Robertson for their heroics on the flanks this season, saying he tries to offer them cover to allow them to bomb forward and help the team.

He added that Andy Robertson (L) and Alexander Trent-Arnold were crucial for the team
‘With the quality they have, they can (push up) as much as they want because I will be protecting (them). They always help us a lot in games. Both in the construction of the plays and with assists and goals.
‘Their (crosses) have great precision and they spend 90 minutes coming and going. My role is to cover them. When we attack on the left, I take care of Robertson’s back; and when the ball is on the right I take care of Alexander-Arnold.
‘If I don’t have time, then the one that covers is a central one. The three left behind have to make these decisions according to how we see the game.’
Fabinho has played his part for Liverpool this season despite being set back by an ankle injury
Fabinho has played 26 times across all competitions for Liverpool this season despite missing 13 games after damaging his ankle ligaments in November.
He has made a total of 67 appearances for the Reds since signing from Monaco for £40million in 2018.
The Brazilian started in both the Champions League final against Tottenham and the UEFA Super Cup final against Chelsea as he helped the team to lift both trophies.
