Roberto Firmino has suffered a setback in his recovery from a calf injury, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has explained.
The 31-year-old picked up the injury in training prior to the defeat in the Carabao Cup against Manchester City shortly after the World Cup finished.
He was expected to be out for 10-14 days originally but hasn’t yet returned to training almost a month later.
Speaking to the media (via Liverpoolfc.com) ahead of Liverpool’s vital Premier League clash against Brighton on Saturday, Klopp explained why his number nine was still missing.
“In the first moment, it was like a little injury where the estimate [was] 10 days, two weeks
“He did the normal rehab stuff, all the experts told us what we can do – and then Bobby felt again something and that kept him out then for longer.
