Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Roberto Firmino is likely to miss the first-leg of Liverpool's Champions League semi-final tie with Villarreal.
The Brazilian has missed Liverpool’s last two Premier League wins over Manchester United and Everton after picking up a foot injury during the closing moments of the FA Cup semi-final win over Manchester City at Wembley.
Firmino recently underwent a scan that revealed there was no serious damage. However, Klopp has now confirmed that the forward is not expected to return for the game against Unai Emery’s side.

"I don't think [he is ready] yet,” the Liverpool boss told Liverpoolfc.com. “He is running outside and that's good, obviously, but I am not sure.
“Maybe somebody will surprise me afterwards and tell me, 'Yes, Bobby is in.' [I will have] open arms, but I don't think so. Apart from that, no [new injuries] that I know yet.”
Liverpool have no other fresh injury concerns ahead of tomorrow night’s last four encounter at Anfield.
