The Liverpool hitman hasn’t played in a month, but Jurgen Klopp expects him back for the Champions League final.
Jurgen Klopp has told Liverpool’s official website that Roberto Firmino is looking ‘really good’ in training ahead of Saturday’s Champions League final with Tottenham Hotspur.
Madrid plays host this weekend as Liverpool look to go one better than they did last season and win a sixth European Cup by beating Spurs.
Injuries to both teams’ star strikers – Firmino and Harry Kane – has dominated the build-up to the clash in recent days.
Kane has confirmed that he should be fit for the game but it remains to be seen if Mauricio Pochettino starts him.
It’s a huge boost for the North Londoners if he’s fit for the first XI, but Liverpool could also have a major bit of good news after Klopp’s comments on Firmino.
The Brazilian striker hasn’t kicked a ball for the Reds since the 3-0 defeat by Barcelona on May 1, but the German manager told Liverpool’s website that he’s ‘pretty sure’ he’ll be fine for Saturday.
Klopp said: “Bobby trained, was part of training last week and looked really good, everything was fine. Then we took him out again. He will be in training from tomorrow on again.
“All that we saw so far looked really good and he will be fine, I’m pretty sure.”
