Al-Ittihad midfielder Fabinho admits he's happy seeing former Liverpool teammates running around the Saudi Pro League.

Fabinho was back at Anfield on Monday to see Liverpool win against Newcastle United.

He told liverpoolfc.com: "I played maybe two or three weeks ago against Hendo (Jordan Henderson) and Gini (Wijnaldum), it was a nice experience to play against them.

"To play against Hendo particularly, somebody always pressing you, always next to you!

"It was a nice experience, after the game I spent a long time in their dressing room talking to them. It was really nice to see them, talk to them, remember a little bit the good times that we spent together.

"With Bobby (Firmino) as well, we don't play in the same team but we are in the same city, so we are often together. We played against each other, the derby – unfortunately it wasn't very good for me.

"But it's nice to see the friends that we made here at Liverpool."
