Hopeful for return before season ends Firmino (strain) will target a return before the end of the season, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "We are still thinking that... this week, no, I hope that at the end of the w...
Impact It is certainly not an update that Firmino was hoping to hear as he is set to miss more time with a strain. This follows a series of tough games, failing to get a start in the starting XI of late with just one appearance in the lineup in last 12 contests. Most of this has to do with multiple stints on the injured list, giving Diogo Jota a chance for more playing time and with four goals and three assists in his last 10 matches, Firmino will likely be downgraded to a bench role until the end of the season.

Impact Firmino can't seem to escape the injury bug despite playing just 20 minutes the last two matches. Fortunately for Liverpool, everyone else is healthy and Firmino is about on his way out, though it was a similar situation last season. Firmino has made 12 starts this season, more than last campaign, though he may not add to that total the rest of the way.

Premier League leader Arsenal has little room for error
It is a measure of the standards set by Arsenal this season that a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield last week felt more like a lossAPRIL 13, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores off bench Firmino scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
Impact Firmino scored the equalizer off the bench during Sunday's draw. If there is one constant in the Premier League it is Firmino scoring against Arsenal. In just 60 minutes in 2023 Firmino has scored twice against The Gunners. Firmino remains a bench option with more limited upside while outside of the starting XI. Though an injury to Darwin Nunez or Cody Gakpo could see Firmino given a more substantial role.

Held to one shot Firmino registered one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 0-0 draw against Chelsea.
Impact Firmino was held to just a single shot during his time on the pitch failing to put the shot on target. It was a quiet all around day for the attacker who failed to accomplish much of note. Neither team offered much offensively and Firmino seemed to struggle to create chances in a Mohamed Salah-less attack.

Nets off bench Firmino scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Sunday's 7-0 win over Manchester United.
Impact Firmino came off the bench for 11 minutes Sunday and scored and assisted during the win. The striker announced he would be departing Liverpool at the end of his contract, an unsurprising move as his playing time his waned of late. Still when coming off the bench Firmino has the talent to be an absolute difference-maker in all competitions.

Creates chance off bench Firmino subbed into Monday's match against Everton in the 80th minute, creating a chance in the 2-0 victory.
Impact Firmino marked his return to action on Monday after suffering a calf injury during the World Cup break. Winter signing Cody Gakpo has been starting at center forward recently and Diogo Jota is returning from injury too, while Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah remain mostly undroppable as well, so it is unclear what Firmino's role in the XI will be once he's fully fit again.

Included in match-day squad Firmino (calf) will be available as a substitute against Everton on Monday.
Impact Firmino is back in the squad for the first time since Nov. 12 against Southampton, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to see him easing his way back into action. Even once fully fit, Firmino may struggle to break into the starting XI due to the acquisition of Cody Gakpo.

Unlikely to face Everton Firmino (calf) is edging closer to a return but is a doubt for Monday's match against Everton, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Bobby next one, I don't know, we have to see how...
Impact Firmino is at least training, but it's unlikely he'll be an option Monday unless he looks really good the next couple days. He's been out since the World Cup with this injury and will be brought along slowly with a return the following weekend more likely. At that point, he'll likely serve in more of a bench role as long as the other attacking options are healthy.

Still weeks away Firmino (calf) remains a "couple of weeks" away from a return, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact Firmino has been out since November but suffered a recurrence of his injury a couple weeks ago, so he'll need to take his recovery slow. The hope is that he'll return in February, but nothing is guaranteed with muscle injuries. Prior to injury, he was one of the only healthy forwards and upon return, he'll have competition for starting minutes.

Impact It's not a great update on Firmino, who seems guaranteed to miss the next two league matches. Combine this with other injuries and Liverpool can't catch a break with injured forwards. Firmino has been out since the World Cup break and once he's ready to return, he may not have a role in the side following the addition of Cody Gakpo.
