Impact Barring any setbacks, Firmino could be an option for Tuesday's Champions League matchup with Inter Milan. With Naby Keita (undisclosed) and Curtis Jones (thigh) dealing with injuries, Firmino's return to the squad would no doubt bolster the club's options moving forward.

Will miss Arsenal game Liverpool assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders said Friday that Firmino "is pushing himself really hard but he will not be available" for Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against Chelsea.
Impact Firmino has missed Liverpool's last two Premier League games since suffering a muscle injury in the Champions League against Inter last week, and he will be out once again on Sunday. If Diogo Jota (ankle) isn't fit in time either, then Divock Origi could line up at center forward for the Carabao Cup Final.

Impact There hasn't been a ton of information on Firmino's injury, but if it's a muscle strain, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed another week. With Dioga Jota also out, Luis Diaz will likely see more time up front, though Klopp may not want to overplay him during the busy schedule. As for Firmino, he can't seem to stay healthy for prolonged periods.

Misses Norwich win Firmino was not in the squad for Saturday's win against Norwich City because of a muscle issue.
Impact Liverpool didn't make much of the issue leading up to Saturday's match, but Firmino apparently suffered it midweek against Inter. With he and Diogo Jota both dealing with injuries, the addition of Luis Diaz apparently came at the right time, as he'll likely start against Leeds on Wednesday, as well.

Scores against Inter Firmino took one shot on target, won two of five tackles and six duels and scored a goal in 45 minutes in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Inter.
Impact Firmino provided a key contribution after coming in at half-time, breaking the deadlock with a wicked header on a corner kick. He had not scored since mid-October, also because of a major injury. He was coming off four straight starts while Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane were away from the team. He has posted one assist, eight shots, two chances and two crosses in the last five appearances. Liverpool will host Norwich City Saturday.

Firmino, Salah give Liverpool 2-0 win at Inter Milan in CL
Roberto Firmino's header and Mohamed Salah's strike gave Liverpool a 2-0 win at Inter Milan in the Champions League round of 16FEBRUARY 16, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Four shots in win Firmino shot four times (twice on goal) during Thursday's 2-0 win over Leicester City.
Impact Firmino was decent during Thursday's win, though he lacked much spark offensively, and was out-shone by Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz alongside him. Firmino is still one of the best pressing forwards in the world, but his goal-scoring production, or lack thereof has been apparent recently. The forward could fall out of the starting XI with Sadio Mane returning, and Luis Diaz looking strong on debut.

Assists in start Firmino provided one assist on two chances created during Sunday's 3-0 win over Brentford.
Impact Firmino did well in his fifth Premier League start to set up Takumi Minamino for a goal late on. The forward is a solid option when starting, but has fallen out of the starting XI. Firmino has some value in a favorable clash with Crystal Palace next time out.

Scores in return Firmino (COVID-19) scored in 26 minutes off the bench of Sunday's FA Cup win.
Impact Firmino is back from COVID-19 and all signs point to him being ready to start the team's next league match, Sunday against Brentford. He figures to move into the starting XI given the AFCON absences, something that hasn't happened since October. Firmino has a couple huge performances, but he's otherwise struggled to produce when in the side this season.

Out with COVID-19 Firmino has tested positive for COVID-19, Liverpool announced Sunday.
Impact Firmino is out for Sunday's clash against Chelsea, and he will miss at least a week while isolating, though he hasn't started a Premier League game since October. Diogo Jota will likely continue as the center forward.

Records assist in win Firmino took a shot and assisted a goal in Thursday's 3-1 victory against Newcastle United. He also won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Firmino came off the bench Thursday for his first appearance since suffering a hamstring injury in the Champions League on Nov. 3, and he grabbed his second assist of the season. Even when Firmino's fit, though, Diogo Jota seems to be the preferred option at center forward for now, though both are likely to see plenty of time during the busy Christmas fixtures.

Makes bench Thursday Firmino (hamstring) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Newcastle.
Impact Firmino is back in the side Thursday after missing the last month and a half with a hamstring injury. If all goes well he'll get a few minutes against Newcastle and then should be in play to start as soon as this weekend, assuming that match is played.
DECEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Back in full training Firmino (hamstring) is back in full training ahead of Thursday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact Firmino has been training lightly for at least a week and should be an option Thursday. He hasn't played in more than a month, so he'll likely be an option off the bench first, but with a heavy schedule ahead, starts are likely for the striker.
DECEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Takes part in training Firmino (hamstring) took part in a limited training session Thursday, though he's not expected to be an option Saturday against Aston Villa.
Impact Firmino is working his way back having spent the last month out with a hamstring injury. He'll need to get back to full training before he can be an option again, which means he has a chance for the Dec. 16 contest against Newcastle if all goes well in the next few days
