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However, Firmino barely managed to play against Barcelona in the first leg of their semi-final defeat and was withdrawn after 12 minute, and did not feature for Liverpool since.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

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp remains upbeat Firmino will be fit enough to tackle Tottenham in the UCL final in Madrid on June 1.

Reacting moments after the final day of the Premier League campaign, the German tactician Klopp insists his No.9, will be ready to play on matchday.

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

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that an unnamed Barcelona fan was unable to control his anger on Tuesday night, May 7, after his club's Champions League defeat against Liverpool forcing him to break his flat screen TV.

Barcelona were tipped to reach the final of the 2018/19 Champions League having beat Liverpool 3-0 in semi final first leg, but they suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat in the return leg.

A supporter who has a framed of Lionel Messi jersey hanging on his wall however threw his remote, slapped and then kicked the TV in disgust.

The angry fan's friends seemed completely unmoved by the fit of fury as they just sat and watched him get it out of his system.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
