Barcelona vs Liverpool: Roberto Firmino back in training ahead of Champions League semi-final

The striker missed Liverpool's 5-0 win against Huddersfield last Friday with an ankle injury

Roberto Firmino has returned to Liverpool training, easing injury fears that the Brazilian will not miss the first leg of Liverpool's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.

The striker missed Liverpool’s 5-0 win against Huddersfield last Friday with an ankle injury, while there was some speculation that he may miss the remainder of the season.

However, Firmino was training with the rest of the first team squad at Melwood on Tuesday, before flying to Spain this afternoon.

Speaking about Firmino’s desire to play, Klopp said: “It is Bobby, so he might be ready for Wednesday, but we obviously don’t know in the moment.

“Because it is him, it’s rather likely that [he will be] than not, but we will see.”

Liverpool’s brilliant season is in danger of ending trophyless with Manchester City remaining on course for the Premier League.

However, Klopp believes his side will get their just reward.

“I think from the outside it looks so difficult and the boys deliver and deliver and deliver – that’s the cool thing,” Klopp said.

“The rest is destiny. We don’t know. We have to do our best and we will see what we get for it.”
