Jurgen Klopp insists he will not launch Fabinho's career in England until he is convinced the £43million midfielder is ready to cope with the intensity.

Fabinho joined Liverpool from Monaco two days after the Champions League final to replace Emre Can. Klopp had been following the Brazil international for 12 months and his club beat competition from Arsenal and Manchester United to sign him.

However he had trouble adjusting to Liverpool's style in pre-season and it was noteworthy that he was not involved in the 18-man squad for Monday's game at Crystal Palace, even though he had traveled to Selhurst Park.

Jurgen Klopp won't launch Fabinho's career in England until he can cope with Liverpool's style

Klopp has no concerns about Fabinho's quality but knows he must be patient. He has urged the 24-year-old to follow the examples of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andrew Robertson, both of whom overcame slow early starts to establish themselves in the manager's plans.

He said: 'It is about players understanding the position and who else is available as well, otherwise Fabinho would have been involved in the squad as he was in the first week. That is it. It is different football to what he is used to but he is improving already with big steps.

'I can see that in the sessions and that is cool. He is used to playing at a high level in France. It is not about who we play but about how we play. It is all fine. For sure it is not nice for a new player (to not be playing). It never was.

'But you see Andy Robertson running around here at Melwood now and he's a completely different person to the one who was here in the first three months. That's how it is. But everything will be fine with Fabinho.'

Loris Karius, meanwhile, will complete his move to Besiktas on Saturday. The Turkish club put his image on their Twitter page on Friday night but did so without the paperwork on the loan being signed. The German goalkeeper will move to Istanbul on a two-year deal.
