According to the Independent, Liverpool duo Naby Keita and Roberto Firmino have both traveled to Spain with the rest of Jurgen Klopp’s squad ahead of the Champions League final.

Liverpool are set to take on Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur side in Madrid in two weekends’ time.

And Liverpool are already training in Spain, ahead of the massive clash against Spurs.

Liverpool were concerned that they would be without both Firmino and Keita for the final of the Champions League, as the pair both suffered injuries in the run-in.

However, Klopp’s side could be boosted as both Keita and Firmino are said to be winning their race to be fit.

Keita is reportedly recovering far quicker than anybody expected from his problem, while Firmino is very confident of being fit enough to start for Liverpool against Spurs.

Whether Firmino will get the nod over Divock Origi if he is fit still remains to be seen though, as the Belgian striker did score twice in Liverpool’s comeback victory over Barcelona in the semi-final.
