'Not good' - Michael Owen fears worst after Fabinho Liverpool injury against Aston Villa

Michael Owen is already worried about the Champions League final after key Liverpool midfielder Fabinho was forced off injured against Aston Villa on Tuesday evening.

With the match all square at 1-1, the Brazilian pulled up with a problem and had to be substituted after only half an hour gone.

Reds supporters would have been relieved to have seen the Brazilian walk off the pitch without any medical assistance.

But their former striker Owen wasted no time voicing his concerns for a player who was almost certain to have started against Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday.

Owen tweeted: "That’s not good. Fabinho off with what looks like a hamstring injury. One of the first names on the team sheet, here’s hoping he makes it back for the Champions League final."

Fabinho has been instrumental in Liverpool's multiple quests for glory this season, scoring eight goals in 47 appearances for the Reds.
