Liverpool star Roberto Firmino in contention for Arsenal trip

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is contention to face Arsenal this weekend.

The Brazilian has missed Liverpool's last three games with a knee problem.

Along with compatriots Alisson and Fabinho, Firmino enjoyed the international break on Merseyside after the South American World Cup qualifiers were postponed due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The Reds' Twitter account posted a photo of Firmino training Monday.

And Sky Sports says the 29-year-old could return to Saturday's all-important clash with Arsenal.

Jurgen Klopp's side remain five points from fourth-placed Chelsea with nine games remaining in the season.
