Fábio Henrique Tavares (born 23 October 1993), known as Fabinho (Portuguese pronunciation: [faˈbĩɲu]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League club Liverpool and the Brazil national team.

After starting off at Fluminense, he transferred to Rio Ave in 2012. He spent his entire time there out on loan, first at Real Madrid Castilla, and made one substitute appearance for the first team. He spent five years at Monaco, playing 233 total games and scoring 31 goals, and won Ligue 1 in 2016–17. In his debut season at Liverpool he won the UEFA Champions League.

Fabinho made his international debut for Brazil in 2015, and was part of their squads at the Copa América in 2015 and 2016.

Club career

Fluminense

Born in Campinas, São Paulo, Fabinho began his career at Fluminense. He was called into a first team matchday squad for the only time on 20 May 2012, as he was an unused substitute in a 1–0 win over Corinthians for the season's Série A.[3]

Rio Ave and Real Madrid

On 8 June 2012, Fabinho joined Portuguese Primeira Liga side Rio Ave on a six-year deal.[4] After one month at Rio Ave, Fabinho joined Real Madrid Castilla on a season-long loan deal on 19 July.[5] He made his professional debut on 17 August, as the Spanish Segunda División season began, playing 90 minutes in the 2–1 defeat at Villarreal.[6] On 28 April 2013, he scored his first goal, heading an added-time equaliser for a 3–3 draw at CD Numancia.[7]

He made his debut for Real Madrid on 8 May 2013, playing 14 minutes in place of Fábio Coentrão and assisting the sixth goal by Ángel Di María in the 6–2 La Liga victory over Málaga at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.[8]

AS Monaco

On 19 July 2013, Fabinho joined Monaco on a season-long loan deal.[9] He made his debut on 10 August at the Stade Chaban-Delmas in Monaco's opening Ligue 1 match of the 2013–14 season, playing the entire match against Bordeaux, with Monaco winning 2–0.[10] He scored his first goal for Monaco in the 58th minute in their 6–0 home win over Lens in the quarter-finals of the 2013–14 Coupe de France on 26 March 2014.[11]

Fabinho playing for Monaco in 2014

After completing his one-year loan at Monaco, he rejoined the club on loan for another year on 2 July 2014. On 9 December 2014, he scored the last goal in the Group C Matchday 6 2–0 home win over Zenit St Petersburg (his first UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League goal), to enable Monaco to qualify for 2014–15 UEFA Champions League knockout phase as group winners.[12]

On 19 May 2015, after two seasons on loan at Monaco, Monaco and Rio Ave agreed on the permanent transfer of Fabinho; he signed a contract with Monaco for the next four seasons and would be tied to the club until 30 June 2019.[13]

On 20 March 2016, Fabinho won a penalty when fouled by compatriot David Luiz, and converted it for a 2–0 win that was Paris Saint-Germain's first home defeat since May 2014.[14]

On 21 February 2017, Fabinho provided one assist each to Radamel Falcao and Kylian Mbappé in a 5–3 away defeat against Manchester City in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League round of 16 first-leg match.[15] On 15 March, Fabinho made the score 2–0 for Monaco in the 29th minute by driving home Benjamin Mendy's low cross to help Monaco beat Manchester City 3–1 (aggregate score 6–6) in the second-leg match at the Stade Louis II and advance to the quarter-finals on the away goals rule.[16]

Liverpool

On 28 May 2018, Premier League club Liverpool announced that Fabinho would sign for the club on a long-term contract for a reported initial fee of £39 million, effective 1 July.[17][18]

2018–2019

His competitive debut for the club came as an injury-time substitute for Sadio Mané in a Champions League group match against Paris Saint-Germain on 18 September, a 3–2 win at Anfield.[19][20] He made his league debut in a 1–0 win at Huddersfield Town on 20 October, coming on for the last 21 minutes in place of Adam Lallana.[21] A week later he was granted a first league start in a 4–1 home victory against Cardiff City in central midfield alongside Georginio Wijnaldum, and received praise from Sky Sports.[22][23] On 17 December, Fabinho was named Carlsberg Man of the Match after his performance against Manchester United in a 3–1 victory.[24] On 26 December 2018, Fabinho scored his first goal for Liverpool in a 4–0 win against Newcastle United.[25]

In early January 2019, Fabinho played at centre-back against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup third round and away against Brighton.[26] Following his performances, manager Jurgen Klopp praised him and stated that he is a "new centre-back option".[27]

On 4 May 2019, with Liverpool's title race going down to the wire, Fabinho won his side a free-kick from which Liverpool scored to beat Newcastle 3–2 away from home.[28][29] On 1 June, Fabinho started in the 2019 UEFA Champions League final against Tottenham Hotspur, playing the full 90 minutes as the club secured their sixth win in the competition and Fabinho earning his first trophy with the club.[30]

2019–2020

Fabinho in action against Chelsea during the 2019 UEFA Super Cup

On 14 August, Fabinho played the full 90 minutes in the 2019 UEFA Super Cup against Chelsea, scoring Liverpool's second penalty in the shootout after regular time ended 2–2, in an eventual 5–4 win on penalties.[31]

On 27 October, he earned praise from the fans for his performance in a 2–1 win against Tottenham.[32][33] Fabinho's first goal of the season came against Manchester City on 10 November, scoring an early goal in an eventual 3–1 win and was voted by BBC Sport as "Man of the Match".[34]

On 27 November, during a crucial Champions League match against Napoli, he suffered an early injury after falling awkwardly during a challenge and was substituted after 18 minutes.[35] Two days later, the club announced that the injury will keep Fabinho out of action until the start of 2020.[36]

International career

Included in coach Dunga's 23-man squad for the 2015 Copa América in Chile, Fabinho made his debut in a warm-up match against Mexico on 7 June of that year, as a half-time substitute for Danilo in a 2–0 victory at Allianz Parque in São Paulo.[37] With Dani Alves playing the entire tournament at right-back, Fabinho did not play at the Copa América, in which Brazil reached the quarter-finals. Fabinho was selected for Brazil's Copa América Centenario squad,[38] although he did not play in any of Brazil's three matches at the tournament.[citation needed]

Personal life

Fabinho married Rebeca Tavares in 2015, having been together since 2013.[39]
