“A muscle injury,” Jurgen Klopp says of his star forward, who will now miss the next three games.

Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, has confirmed that Roberto Firmino will miss the Reds’ next three games due to a muscle problem

The Brazilian forward was injured during Liverpool’s 6-1 win over Leeds on Monday, and it is unclear whether the injury occurred during that game or during training.

It will keep Firmino out of the Reds’ next three games against Nottingham Forest, West Ham, and Tottenham, with the earliest he could return being the week after next.

Klopp said about the forward during his press conference today, according to This is Anfield: “Unfortunately, Bobby developed a muscle problem; we’ll see how long that takes.”

“It’s not too serious, but we have two more games coming up tomorrow and next week that I would say are also impossible, so we’ll see.” We must take each day as it comes.”

Despite not being a regular this season, Firmino is the Merseyside club’s third-highest goalscorer with 11 this season.

The Liverpool legend is set to leave the club at the end of the season, and fans will be disappointed to learn that three games have been removed from his final run-in.
