Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Roberto Firmino had “no chance” of being included in the squad to face PSG on Monday after a sickening eye injury sustained against Spurs on Saturday.
The Brazilian eventually placed on the bench and won an impressive downtime against Ligue 1 champions at Anfield. Reds chief Jurgen Klopp said he was confident Firmino would not play any role before the game.
“The day before Array was not a coincidence, it wasn’t very smart and we only had one session, which we used, and it was this morning,” Klopp told Liverpool’s website.
‘Bobby tried it a little bit and then he came in and you think it’s the moment when you have to accept it as true with the team. yes, when you have Bobby Firmino available, you think ‘go, bring him in,’ but it was great to see Daniel play tonight and paid 100 percent.
“It is so good for him, to us, such a wonderful and vital sign. And like I said, bringing Bobby in after 70 minutes is a smart tool, to be honest, I like it. So it was smart.
