Roberto Firmino may not make Liverpool’s matchday squad for their Champions League semi-final first leg clash with Barcelona on Wednesday, reports claim.
The 27-year-old missed the Reds’ 5-0 win over Huddersfield with a muscle tear last Friday.
And despite returning to first-team training ahead of Liverpool’s trip to the Nou Camp, reports in Spain claim the striker will not recover in time.
Spanish outlet Cadenaser say ‘everything indicates that Firmino will not play’ in the first leg, which is live on talkSPORT.
