Jurgen Klopp drops hint on Liverpool team selection after confirming injury blow

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Roberto Firmino will miss Liverpool's game against Nottingham Forest - and hinted his team selection will be based on "counter-pressing".

The Reds returned to winning ways on Monday as they recorded a thumping 6-1 win over Leeds at Elland Road. Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota both grabbed a brace, while Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez also found the net for Liverpool as they moved to within nine points of fourth-place Newcastle in the race for the Champions League.

Ahead of the game against Forest, Klopp spoke to the press and revealed he has one major injury concern, with Firmino nursing a muscle problem. The Brazilian will sit out of the clash at Anfield on Saturday and is also a doubt for the Reds' trip West Ham next week as they head into a critical period of the campaign.
