Liverpool get massive injury boost ahead of Tottenham Champions League final showdown

Roberto Firmino has handed Liverpool a massive injury boost after stepping up his rehab as he intensifies training to regain his fitness ahead of the Champions League final.

According to The Mirror, the forward, who was listed in the Selecao squad Copa America squad this week is back in training after suffering a thigh tear that saw him missing four of Liverpool’s final five fixtures of the season.

However, Firmino barely managed to play against Barcelona in the first leg of their semi-final defeat and was withdrawn after 12 minute, and did not feature for Liverpool since.

At the last count, the Reds have paid close attention to the forward’s recovery, and travelled with other teammates to a training camp in Marbella early in the week.

In addition, Liverpool's strength and rehabilitation assistant David Ridings alongside physio Sven Kampmann have also assisted the forward in getting back to shape, with intense exercises.

On the other hand, the Brazilian has worked separately in the gym, as well as increasing his movement, with short, sharp sprints, on the training field.

“We have time before the final and that should be enough."
