Roberto Firmino was missing from Liverpool training today ahead of their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.

Brazilian striker Firmino missed the open session at the Reds' training ground at Melwood, with reports suggesting he had a virus, reports the Mirror.

Firmino is one of manager Jurgen Klopp's most important players, and has already appeared 34 times in all competitions this season - netting 11 goals.

Two of those strikes came in the group stage of the Champions League, against Paris Saint-Germain and Red Star Belgrade.

And the lack of official word led to Liverpool supporters to become worried about the no show, and whether he would be available for the crunch fixture with the Bundesliga giants.
