Liverpool are well known for having a very close squad and defender Ibrahima Konate has revealed he treats Fabio Carvalho like a 'little brother'.
The France defender took on Darwin Nunez at FIFA 23 and he added Carvalho to the Portugal side he was using to take on the Liverpool striker.
Konate is only 23 himself, but he has taken it upon himself to look after the 20-year-old after he completed a move to Anfield from Fulham in the summer transfer window.

Carvalho is close friends with Harvey Elliott after they grew up with each other at the same high school and playing for Fulham's youth teams together.
Konate said on Liverpool's YouTube channel : "I have to put Fabio in the squad because he is my little brother. He will start because I love him."
The Frenchman was called up to the France squad for the World Cup in Qatar as they look to defend the crown they won in Russia back in 2018.
