Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is full of praise for Roberto Firmino over his importance to the team.

The 27-year-old has started 2019-20 in superb form, netting twice and providing three assists across six appearances to help his side win the UEFA Super Cup and top the Premier League during the season's first international break.

And Klopp has reiterated his admiration for the man he has previously described as the 'engine' of his team.

"Hopefully it stays like this, [him] hardly missing a game! He missed a few and that was not too cool, but Bobby - what can I say about him that not everybody knows already?" the boss told Liverpoolfc.com.

“He's an incredibly important player. He enjoys it so much to play in this team, to be really there with all these super guys around him.

“That's what helps him then, of course: if you have the speed around you, you can be this little cheeky guy in between the lines, being there and scoring the goals. Yeah, he's a very valuable player for us."
