Liverpool boss Klopp reveals Firmino back in full training

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was expecting Roberto Firmino to take part in full training today in Marbella.

The striker, who has missed the Reds' last three games with a groin injury, has been making a staggered return to training during Liverpool's warm weather camp.

With less than two weeks to go before the Champions League final with Tottenham, Klopp said on Wednesday: "Bobby looks really good (and) he is now part of training.

"It was not too long out, but of course we are still careful and want to make sure nothing happens.

"We have a few days still and want to use them, that's why he is in, out, in, out. Yesterday, he was only playing as a 'joker' (in the small-sided games) but it is good for him, the first step to play football again.

"Today he was in around about 70 per cent of the session. Tomorrow he will probably be in completely, we will see, then hopefully it will be fine."
