Great news seeing him back in full training.

Nice that we have a injury free squad for this final.

Keita might not be able to play a part but it's still good to see him being part of the group.

Is he back in full training. He was part of that session yesterday, but thought Klopp said he would be working with the fitness team on his own programme out there too?

Looks like it’s going in the right direction and hopefully points to him being available anyway

He was working on his programme ahead of the team's arrivals several days before the whole team arrived. Whether or not he's in full training remains to be seen but my guess he is.

From the offy site yesterday...

Roberto Firmino today trained alongside his teammates following a muscle strain that ruled him out of Liverpool’s last three matches.

The Brazilian took part in the Reds’ first session of their Marbella training camp on Tuesday morning as he works his way back to full fitness.

Firmino has been working with the club’s medical staff on his rehabilitation from the issue and his reintroduction into full team training will be carefully managed under their supervision, with specialised programmes planned over the coming days.

Cheers, thought I’d seen/read something along those lines. Sounds hopeful without being definitive on if he’ll be fit.

1- Great to see him training with the rest of the squad. Really hope he's fit for the Final, it'd give us that boost we need.

2- I'm sure most of you know that Bobby's song is based on a specific chant by the River Plate supporters. Some of you, however, might not know that chant was based on a song by a very prolific and famous Argentine singer, Fito Páez. The song's name is "Y Dale Alegría a Mi Corazón" (lit. "and give joy to my heart") and was a hit back in the early 90s around these parts - funnily enough, it's not really a fast song at all. If anything, it takes a loooot of time to really "get going".

Thanks for posting that mate. I didn't know of the original song.

Liverpool could be looking for another forward this summer after Roberto Firmino failed to hit the heights of last year.

The Brazil ace, 27, only managed 12 goals and six assists in 34 games. And although those figures are hardly poor, when compared with his team-mates - Mohamed Salah (22 goals, eight assists) and Sadio Mane (22 goals, one assist) - he would appear to be the weaker link.

You don't have the balls liiiike the River Plate. 

There's boss footage of it on youtube for the Copa final. It's so passionate.

I think I've said it on here that a few young lids tried getting this going in Belgrade . After the game a few of us were saying to eachother... who knows that Bobby song ? We didn't but we all agreed it needs to take off that one.

Not really quiet, Klopp answered questions and gave an update. He's been in training for weeks now, he's looked good, took part in team training aside from what he's done individually. But don't expect to get a day to day update.

Absolutely love this man. So glad he's won the biggest trophy in the game for us. Has been consistently excellent since joining, and we have been reliant on him to create the fluidity in attack with his brilliant interplay and vision for the first few years that he was with us. Klopp called him the engine of our counter-attacking system.

With all that said, this last year, he hasn't quite been his old self. Not quite as sharp, not quite as consistently clever and solid with holding up the ball. I really hope it's just a natural dip in form, and that he isn't starting to wane. I hope he comes back even stronger next year.

Don't think he was at the same level as he was last year. He won't care, he has played his part in a great title challenge and winning number 6. Hopefully he can find his absolute best form again this coming season.

I wouldn’t worry too much though it’s a shame he’s playing for Brazil again this summer, after the season before and then the World Cup his form was bound to dip slightly given his style of play - it wouldn’t surprise me if Klopp gives him an extra couple of weeks this summer when gets back from international duty, gonna be a long season ahead

To be fair, I think the front three take turns in being in good form. For example, last season, Bobby and Salah had very good seasons while Mane had a good season but not as good as the year before. Now defenders are more focused on Salah and Firmino, it meant that Sadio could have his best season yet. I imagine that opposition will focus more on Salah and Mane leaving him with more space to play really well and score more. With an incredible front 3 like that, we're essentially saying pick your poison because focusing on one to stop means leaving space for the others.
if I came home to allison in bed with my wife I'd ask him to phone Virgil to see if he wanted to pop round too.
