Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino is an injury doubt for their Champions League clash with RB Leipzig.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds will meet the RBL once again inside Budapest's Puskas Arena as they bid to build upon a 2-0 aggregate lead and book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.

But Liverpool may have to to do so without Firmino, who sat out training on Monday with a knee issue.

The Brazilian missed the weekend's game against Fulham, in which Liverpool recorded an historic sixth consecutive home defeat at Anfield.

It is reported that a late call will be made on the fitness of Firmino, with the returning Diogo Jota poised to take his place in the starting line-up.
