Liverpool Forward Roberto Firmino Reveals He Feared Going Blind After Eye Injury

Liverpool's Roberto Firmino has revealed he was afraid he would go blind in one eye after he suffered an injury against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League in September.

He made the revelation during an interview with Sky Sports:

"I was scared of going blind in one eye and not being able to see again. Thank God nothing like that happened and it gradually improved day after day.

"Of course, I've been taking my medication and looking after it. Your eyes are very important as a professional footballer. Thank God everything is OK now.
