Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino is among four players who could be absent for Jurgen Klopp’s side against West Ham United on Wednesday night.

Brazilian forward Firmino currently has a muscle injury that saw him miss the Reds’ 3-2 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday and Klopp has confirmed the 31-year-old is expected to not be involved against the Hammers the London Stadium due to the issue.

Midfielder Naby Keita also has a muscle issue sustained last month while on international duty with Guinea. Speaking on Keita recently, Klopp said that he hopes the midfielder will return before the end of the season, but admits that it may be close.
