Hopeful to train next week Firmino (hamstring) will miss Saturday's match against Crystal Palace but is expected to be back in training next week, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Firmino, who suffered the injury roughly three weeks ago. It's a normal muscle injury that will probably take about a month to recover from, meaning Diogo Jota should again be in the starting XI Saturday.

Still battling hamstring injury Firmino "is not fit," according to manager Jurgen Klopp after suffering a hamstring injury just before the break.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Firmino, who may also be ineligible for Sunday's trip to Leeds because of the sanctions from Brazil. Either way, this looks like an injury that'll keep him out multiple weeks meaning more starts for Diogo Jota are likely.

Could be out multiple weeks Firmino is unlikely to be ready for the Sept. 12 contest against Leeds after the break because of his hamstring injury, reports Liverpool Echo.

Subbed off in first half Firmino was subbed off just before the break because of a possible hamstring injury in Saturday's match against Chelsea. He will undergo a scan on Sunday, according to manager Jurg...

Impact It's unclear why Firmino was subbed off, as some pondered that it was because of a knock, though nothing seemed evident when he left the pitch. Either way, he'll get a couple weeks to get back his fitness over the break and even then, Diogo Jota has been the preferred option up front to open the season.

Scores goal off bench Firmino scored a goal, took one shot (on goal) and put in one cross during Saturday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.

Impact Firmino replaced Diogo Jota in the 61st minute and doubled Liverpool's lead with a tap-in finish four minutes later. Jota made the starting XI over Firmino and also scored, so there's a good chance Firmino continues to come off the bench in Saturday's match against Burnley. Regardless, this was a bright start for both strikers and Liverpool to open the season.
