Roberto Firmino injury update as trio missing from Liverpool training
Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is still out of full training due to a muscle problem, despite expectations that he would return after missing three games. The Brazilian has been absent from the team for the past five games, including the recent training session at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby. Instead, Firmino is working on an individual fitness programme as the Reds prepare for their upcoming Premier League game against Leicester City on Monday.
Firmino's absence from the team has been a cause for concern, especially since he is set to leave Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of the season. The striker has spent eight years at the club, making him a key player and a fan favorite. The Reds are hoping that he will be available for his Anfield farewell against Aston Villa on Saturday week.
Meanwhile, midfielder Naby Keita was also absent from the training session due to an unknown reason. The Guinean international has not played for the Reds since February, which has been a major disappointment for both him and the team. It is unclear when he will be able to return to the pitch.
In addition to Keita and Firmino, centre-backs Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams were also missing from the training session. This leaves Liverpool with limited defensive options, which could be a problem as they face a struggling Leicester City side.
However, there was some good news for Liverpool fans, as Ibrahima Konate and Diogo Jota were both able to take part in the training session. Both players have been carrying knocks in recent weeks, but their participation in training indicates that they may be available for selection against Leicester City.
Liverpool fans will be hoping that Firmino, Keita, Phillips, and Williams will recover soon and be available for the team's final games of the season. The Reds are currently in a tight race for a top-four finish, with several teams vying for the coveted Champions League spots. With just a few games left to play, every point counts, and Liverpool will need all their players to be fit and firing if they hope to secure a spot in Europe's top competition.
