Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is hopeful that Roberto Firmino will be ‘closer’ to full fitness by the end of this week.

The striker suffered a muscle injury that ruled him out of Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.

The Reds face West Ham at the London Stadium tomorrow and Firmino will again be unavailable - and along with visit of Tottenham Hotspur to Anfield on Sunday.

Speaking at his pre-West Ham press conference, Klopp said: “I'm still thinking that. This week, no. I hope by the end of the week he is closer.”
