Jurgen Klopp is preparing for a potential striker crisis at Anfield as he awaits further news about Roberto Firmino’s availability.
The club have confirmed that they are still none the wiser about whether or not he will be able to feature against the Ligue 1 champions tomorrow night.
Firmino suffered an abrasion to the eye after a clash with Jan Verthonghen on Saturday, but it has been revealed that the Brazilian has avoided any permanent damage.
When quizzed on the Brazilian, Klopp was unable to give a definitive answer.
He is much better. We all saw the picture and we were massively worried. But all these worries are away so he will be fine. If he will be fine for tomorrow, I don’t know in the moment.
Meanwhile, both Dominic Solanke and Divock Origi have been ruled out of the game with ‘minor knocks’, which both occurred during a U23s game against Swansea over the weekend.
An ankle injury will keep the latter out of the meeting, but neither player’s knock is believed to be too serious.
