Liverpool Liverpool Dragon Roberto ‘Bobby’ Firmino– Liverpool’s engine Roberto Firmino has established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe (Getty Images) The talented Brazilian attacker Roberto Firmino joined Liverpool FC from Hoffenheim, where he was playing four and a half seasons, in 2015 for a fee of 41 million EUR. He was a virtual unknown when he moved to Germany soon after his 19th birthday.



Secondly, it seems clear that Firmino has not been used well since he made his way into the Brazil starting line-up. He is a big fan of it and even had Si Senor stitched into his boots last year. ‘Bobby’ Firmino is on course to be fit for the Champions League final against Tottenham after returning to training during the club’s break in Marbella.

He 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.
