Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Roberto Firmino is close to full fitness ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup final with Chelsea. The Reds travel to Aston Villa on Tuesday night, just under four days before taking on the Blues at Wembley.
Firmino has not played for Liverpool since their FA Cup semi-final victory over Manchester City in the middle of last month due to a foot injury. There was some hope that the Brazil international would be involved in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham at the weekend, but he remained sidelined.
However, ahead of Liverpool's trip to the Midlands to take on Aston Villa on Tuesday night, Klopp has revealed that Firmino could be involved at Villa Park. "Bobby Firmino has trained, so it is a decision for tomorrow," the Liverpool boss said. "He is getting closer and closer and closer, and hopefully, he can be involved."
