Roberto Firmino's wife shares emotional reaction to Liverpool fans before farewell

Roberto Firmino's wife, Larissa, has reacted to the Liverpool fans serenading her husband during the 3-0 over Leicester City a the King Power Stadium.

The 31-year-old was not fit enough to be included in the squad for Liverpool's seventh win in a row, but that didn't stop the travelling Reds from signing his song for a solid 15 minutes in the second half.

Firmino was present at the King Power to cheer on his team-mates as they moved to within one point of Newcastle United in third and Manchester United in fourth.

The Brazilian is set to return to training on Wednesday, according to Jurgen Klopp and could be fit for his final match at Anfield on Saturday when Aston Villa visit Merseyside.
