Fabinho was withdrawn after 75 minutes during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Cardiff, just five minutes after coming on as a substitute.
The Brazilian was brought on in place of Naby Keita to shore up the midfield as the Reds sought to protect their one-goal advantage after Georginio Wijnaldum's sweet second-half volley.
A clash of heads between Fabinho and Bluebirds striker Kenneth Zohore led to the 25-year-old receiving treatment on the pitch.
