Joel was only three or four days so he is fine, I would say." /> Roberto Firmino has been sidelined since suffering a muscle problem in Liverpool's 2-0 first leg win over Inter at the San Siro on February 16. Klopp says he will not take any risks over the Brazilian who has had a number of muscle problems throughout the season. “Bobby was longer out, (Sunday) was the first session so we have to see,” he said.

«It makes probably sense to give him just a few more days with proper training. »Today we don’t train properly it’s a minus-1 session, it’s tactical stuff, not high intensity and Bobby might need something else. But they are all in training.” Rashford considering Manchester United future — reports Man City move six points clear with easy win over derby rivals United Klopp also gave his thoughts about the Premier League title race with Liverpool
