Jurgen Klopp hopes Roberto Firmino will be fit for emotional Liverpool send-off as 'replacement' explained

Jurgen Klopp is hopeful the injured Roberto Firmino will return in time for an emotional farewell at Liverpool before the end of the season.

The Brazil forward will call time on a decorated eight-year spell on Merseyside when his contract expires at the end of the campaign and is potentially set for a huge ovation when Liverpool entertain Aston Villa in their final home game next month.

Firmino, though, picked up a muscle injury in training earlier this week and will now undergo a spell on the sidelines with the Reds having just eight games left to play before the final whistle is blown.
