Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Roberto Firmino remains sidelined for Liverpool but the Reds could welcome back Kostas Tsimikas for Saturday’s trip to Newcastle United.
The Brazilian hasn’t featured for Liverpool since coming on as a late substitute in their FA Cup semi-final victory over Man City, having missed their three victories over Manchester United, Everton and Villarreal with a foot injury. And yet to return to training, Klopp admitted the forward has been absent for longer than the Reds had anticipated.
“ Bobby, it’s not a serious injury,” he told reporters. “We are still all kind of convinced but it takes now a little bit longer already than we all thought. Especially Bobby thought as well.
