Liverpool’s Firmino In Contention To Return Against Newcastle

By Daily Sports on December 15, 2021

Jurgen Klopp says Roberto Firmino is in contention to return for Liverpool against Newcastle on Thursday with Curtis Jones also close to a comeback.

Klopp also says Joe Gomez will not leaving on loan in January, adding: “I don’t have any plans to give anyone on loan in the winter.”

Firmino has missed Liverpool’s last eight matches after suffering a serious hamstring injury in the 2-0 Champions League group win against Atletico Madrid at the beginning of last month.

Klopp also says Curtis Jones is also closing in on a return after sustaining an eye injury, as Liverpool prepare to play five matches in a 13-day period.

“Bobby trained completely normally yesterday so I would say he is in contention,” Klopp told reporters ahead of Liverpool’s clash with Newcastle.

“Curtis had his first session, a partial session with the team so he is not far off.

“But, timing-wise, it couldn’t be better to be honest. It’s a busy period we need a full squad and getting two players back of this calibre is obviously good news.” (Sky Sports)
