Jurgen Klopp is hoping to have Roberto Firmino fit and raring to go for Liverpool's showdown with Barcelona in the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.
Firmino returned to training on Tuesday after missing the win over Huddersfield last week with a slight muscle injury.
The Brazil international then joined his team-mates in traveling to Spain after training ahead of the Champions League semi-final first leg.
'If Bobby is 100 per cent ready to play then he will maybe play', teased Klopp in his pre-match press-conference.
'He's here, he trained. Tomomorrow another session and then i have to make a decision, that's it.'
Firmino scored in both legs of the 6-1 quarter-final victory over Porto, while Daniel Sturridge toiled in place of him against Huddersfield on Friday night.
Klopp was full of praise for Wednesday night's opponents, who were crowned champions of Spain at the weekend.
But he believes in the quality of his side to make it through to the final in Madrid on June 1.
'They have the highest quality team. Messi said before the season "we want to bring back this cup" that sounded like a threat to me at that moment.
'I can only say now we want to go the final as well. If we can show that tomorrow night that would be cool.'

Liverpool shouldn't rush his recovery. I'm not saying this because I don't want Liverpool to be at their best. But if something bad does happen and Firmino can't play in the second leg, it will be a real disadvantage for them. They have a greater chance of beating barca at Anfield (pls im not biased, just realistic). I know anything can happen in football, but if you willing to take the risk thats fine. But you might regret it later. Anyways, good luck to both teams. May the best team win.

Liverpool have a dangerous front three YES plus a Best defence i guess...same front three and best defence was beaten by PSG in terms of aggregate,with PSG having worst defence,moderate midfield but best attack......Barca have a moderate defence,best midfield and an exellent attack .....liverpool have been here 2 years,barca are here 20 years (experience).....Speaking about experience,juventus used experience but yet they were beaten by the barca like playstyle team (ajax)...as well as madrid....liverpool have noo much difference to madrid STYLE OF PLAY (put aside the this floppy season of madrid)....so for me i can see liverpool been knocked out at this stage

I urge all Barca fans to plz stop scaring the hell out of Liverpool, so that all their players won’t end up claiming to be injured. Let’s just allow them to face us like real men in the pitch, instead of them to be shivering 🥶
