Liverpool Handed Scare as Roberto Firmino Misses Training Before Crunch Bayern Munich Clash

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino was a no-show at Liverpool's Melwood training ground on Monday, ahead of the club's crucial Champions League first leg clash against Bayern Munich at Anfield on Tuesday night.

The Reds had expected to be without Dejan Lovren, who was also absent from the session, as well as the recovering Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, but the fitness of Firmino had never been in doubt.

But, according to Liverpool Echo reporter James Pearce, as revealed on his personal Twitter account, the Brazilian forward was not present at Monday's training session ahead of the pivotal European battle against the Bavarians.
