Back in training Firmino (foot) returned to training and will be a late test for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "The foot thing didn't let him do a lot. We h...

Impact At best, it seems like Firmino will only be well enough to be on the bench the next two matches, given the injury and his inability to train over the last two weeks. Either way, he's edging closer to health and should see some minutes as the season winds down because of Liverpool's massively busy schedule to close the campaign.

Impact Firmino has been out two weeks with the injury even though "it isn't serious," according to Klopp. Liverpool are fine without him but having more depth at this point in the season can be helpful, especially when you're playing for the league title in addition to non-league titles.

Impact Even if Firmino is in the squad Sunday, there's a decent chance he won't get minutes with maybe only one day of full training in him. He hasn't been out long, but there's no reason to push a return when it's not needed, especially given the other options up front for Liverpool.

Impact Firmino has received a couple spot starts in recent contests, one in which he braced against Benfica, but he's now the fifth forward option for Liverpool. His career has taken an unfortunate turn having started just nine league matches after starting 33 last season.

Out with foot problem Firmino will not be an option against Manchester United on Tuesday due to a foot injury.

Impact Firmino's injury was classified by the team as minor, so he may still be an option versus Everton on Sunday. Considering the forward has started just two of the club's last five outings, he was far from a lock for the starting XI even if deemed fully fit. Until he can secure regular minutes, Firmino figures to offer limited to mid-range fantasy value at best.

Impact Firmino came off the bench and scored with his first touch in the box, a nifty redirection in close.

Impact Firmino has been out a month with this injury, so he probably won't play Tuesday after two training sessions. Plus, he'll be the fifth option at forward, so even if he's on the bench, it's probably best for him to stay there. With a busy schedule ahead, he could feature in the XI in an upcoming league match but probably not Tuesday in UCL.
