Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed the away support as they chanted Roberto Firmino's name throughout the second-half of last night's win at Leicester City.

Firmino was at the ground, but wasn't among the substitutes. The Brazilian will leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

Klopp said: “It was so cool. I've never seen anything like that (for somebody who wasn't playing).

“I think he has a chance of playing (against Aston Villa). We drive home tomorrow and it will be a day off – not for him, but the others – and then Wednesday he will be in team training, that is my information.

“We have to see. The Saturday game is a super difficult game for plenty of reasons. Probably farewell around the game for a few players, and then playing for absolutely everything against the second or third best team in the Premier League for the second part of the season. That's super challenging."

The German also said: “In the middle of everything, we have to win the game. But around that, we want to show the respect and appreciation and love we feel for not only Bobby but all the boys who will leave in the summer.

“It will be a special day with a difficult game in between. We have to make sure we can do both."
