# Firmino returns to training ahead of Champions League final

Liverpool have been handed a boost ahead of their Champions League final clash with Tottenham after striker Roberto Firmino returned to training on Tuesday.

The Reds are currently in Marbella for a six-day training camp as they step up their preparations for the Champions League final against Spurs on Saturday 1st June.

And [according to the club’s official website](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/351075-roberto-firmino-injury-update-marbella-training), Firmino returned to first team training for the Reds on Tuesday in their first session since arriving in Marbella.

Firmino missed Liverpool’s final three league games with a muscular problem that also forced the Brazilian out of the Reds’ Champions League semi-final second leg comeback against Barcelona.

Liverpool announced that the 27-year-old’s return to full fitness will be monitored with caution by the club’s medical staff, who will give the striker “specialised programmes” as he returns from a muscle injury.

The Brazil international’s chances of featuring against Spurs are boosted further by UEFA’s ruling that allows the Champions League finalist’s to name 12 substitutes each.
