Liverpool drew their Premier League encounter vs Manchester United on Sunday but the Reds do not have time to ponder over their 0-0 stalemate.
Jurgen Klopp’s men head back to Anfield where they welcome Watford on Wednesday and before this game, almost everyone is waiting to receive an update on Roberto Firmino.
Roberto Firmino picked up an ankle injury against Man United and had to be replaced by Daniel Sturridge right on the stroke of half-time.
And speaking after the game, Jurgen Klopp put more cloud over the Brazilian injury claiming that he has no clue about the length of the injury.
“Everyone was like ‘be careful’, then it happened to us with Bobby, which was a catastrophe for us as well,” Klopp said in his post-match conference.
”We only had one [injury] at least, hopefully, it’s not serious.”
“Unfortunately, I have no clue,
“Bobby said at first he could carry on but then he showed it didn’t work. I don’t know exactly; it is Bobby, so it will be quicker than with all the others but first, we have to know what it is exactly – and we don’t know at the moment.”
Roberto Firmino did not look too comfortable while coming off and now it looks like he will miss the game vs Watford on Wednesday.
According to Liverpool Echo reporter James Pearce, Roberto Firmino left Old Trafford on crutches.

Many fans think the crutches could just be a precautionary measure from the doctor but there’s no denying that the situation does not look to pretty for the forward.
Jurgen Klopp will not look to risk Roberto Firmino in midweek especially with so many big matches coming up and it might be Mo Salah who will play down the middle which means Xherdan Shaqiri will return back into the first XI and play down the left flank.
