Fabinho insists Liverpool do not need to buy to replace Gini Wijnaldum after his move to PSG.

Fabinho, who missed a number of matches through injury and also had to fill in at centre-back for the majority of the season after the Reds lost all three senior central defenders, is confident they will cope without the Dutchman's reliability.

"Gini was a really good friend of mine. Personally, I will miss him a lot and the team will miss him because he played in all the games, was never injured and was a really good player. He was a leader," said the Brazil international.

"Gini was a really special player for this club. For me personally, he helped me a lot since I arrived at the club. Now he is at another team and I wish him all the best at PSG.

"I'm not worried about it. Our squad has already shown we have good players to replace him.

"I think the midfield is the part of the team where we have more players - we have Hendo (Jordan Henderson), me, Thiago (Alcantara), Curtis (Jones), Millie (James Milner), Naby Keita; a lot of players who can play in this position."
