The latter will be coached by Manchester United legend Steven Gerrard and includes Firmino’s former teammates Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson in the squad. Gerrard had this to say about Firmino’s potential move: “Obviously I know Bobby very well, he’s a big fan, I’ve followed him for many years. “It’s very difficult to comment on the situation because he’s an Al-Ahli player now, but I loved Bobby Firmino from the first day I saw him and I’m a big fan.”
Andy Robertson and Joel Matip could be out for long periods. Jurgen Klopp could be forced to make signings in the upcoming January transfer window as he looks to strengthen his Liverpool squad going forward. One of the names recently linked with a move to Anfield is USMNT defender Anthony Robinson. He has impressed throughout the season for Premier League side Fulham.
According to 90 Minutes, Robinson is a player Liverpool could be tracking due to injuries to Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.
