Liverpool injury scare as Roberto Firmino 'misses training' ahead of Man City test

Roberto Firmino has dealt Liverpool a late selection concern for the impending Premier League contest with title rivals Manchester City. The 30-year-old came off the bench for the Reds during the Champions League win against Benfica on Tuesday night.

However, as attentions focus on the big one at the Etihad Stadium, the Brazil striker was not spotted at Kirkby on Friday as Jurgen Klopp and his squad held their latest pre-match training session. That has thrown up fears over his availability for Sunday afternoon (4.30pm).

During his press conference, the charismatic German coach suggested that Liverpool have no injuries. He also said that teammate Fabinho would be 'fine' and available for selection despite him suffering a nasty clash of heads with former City man Nicolas Otamendi.
