Roberto Firmino 'Fails Fitness Test' Ahead of Liverpool's Champions League Semi Final With Barcelona

Liverpool have been sweating on Roberto Firmino's fitness after he picked up a muscle injury ahead of the match with Huddersfield Town, and reports from Spain have suggested that he has not recovered in time to face Barcelona on Wednesday.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has previously confirmed that Firmino would undergo a late fitness test ahead of the Champions League semi-final tie at Camp Nou, adding that he was unsure whether the Brazilian would be ready in time.

There has been no official update from Liverpool, but Cadena Ser claim Firmino has failed the test, and may only be fit enough for a place of the substitute's bench.
