Firmino returns to training today and the Reds are keen for him to be available as they continue their pursuit of the Premier League title.

The striker is the only fitness concern for Liverpool ahead of the Toffees clash.

Klopp said: “No other problems. Bobby is getting better and better.

“It’s uncomfortable and painful so we have to make sure [it’s OK].

“Today is his first day on the pitch. Two days to go - maybe.

“If Bobby gives the thumbs up then he will be involved. If not then we wait another few days then after that I think it will be possible.”
