Roberto Firmino has returned to training ahead of Liverpool’s EFL Cup third-round tie against Derby County on Tuesday.
Firmino did not feature in Liverpool’s 201 defeat of Chelsea on Friday due to a minor groin injury, but the 24-year-old trained with his team-mates on Monday and could be included in Jurgen Klopp’s side for the trip to Derby.
“Roberto is in training,” Klopp told a news conference. “We checked him yesterday. We checked him yesterday and this day again because the medical department told me he could’ve played [against Chelsea] but I heard the word ‘risk’ too often and I decided no.
“I’m very happy that it worked out but I was told if we give him three days then everything will be perfect. Today is the fourth day and he had already three, so he’s in [contention for Tuesday].”
