Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has now shared his all-time XI of players he has played with, including six of his current teammates.

Brazilian outlet Ge asked a whole host of The Seleção squad who the best players they have played with are, at club level.

In response, the 29-year-old picked six current Reds stars in his side.

From Liverpool, the team includes Alisson Becker, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Thiago Alcantara, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

A noticeable omission from the current Anfield squad is club captain Jordan Henderson, who was bought for just £20m, loses a spot to former Monaco midfielders Bernardo Silva and Thomas Lemar.

Of previous Liverpool players, a very big exclusion is Sadio Mane. However, former Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo leads the line – making it a difficult decision to argue with.

Fabinho shares his all-time XI of teammates

Fabinho has played with some of football’s biggest stars during his career.

Having made a single appearance for Los Blancos, during which he made an assist, the Brazilian has a wide pool of players to pick from.

However, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to see six Liverpool stars included.

The likes of Salah, van Dijk and Alisson were expected in the XI, with their world-class quality which would make it into any team across Europe.

Although he shouldn’t be a surprise due to his incredible technical ability, Thiago may be a questionable choice for rival fans, with numerous Madrid midfielders to choose from.

Alongside Henderson and Mane, Andy Robertson may consider himself unlucky. However, he faces competition from Marcelo, so that is a difficult argument to win.

Furthermore, Glik (from Monaco) at centre-back could probably be replaced. A central defender from the Reds, possibly Joel Matip, could argue that they should be included.

However, what a team Fabinho has created here.
