Firmino A Doubt For Liverpool's Trip To Barcelona

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is a doubt for their Champions League semi-final first-leg at Barcelona on Wednesday.

The Brazilian forward has suffered a 'small muscle tear' and sat out the Premier League leader's win against Huddersfield last night.

Manager Jurgen Klopp says he's still hopeful that Firmino will recover in time for the game at the Nou Camp.

"Bobby trained yesterday completely normal. It was not high intensity, we had to work on set-pieces a bit, a couple of things.

"I didn't see it in training, it happened obviously in the last situation in training, he felt the muscle a little bit.

"Now that's the official diagnosis: he has a small tear in a very small muscle. Apart from the word 'tear' everything is positive.

"It's Bobby so he might be ready for Wednesday, but we don't know obviously in the moment.

"Because it's him it's more likely than not, but we will see. Of all the badness you can get it's pretty much the best, but it's still bad enough that he couldn't play tonight."
