Alternatively, he could find space for former Bayern Munich midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and play Mohamed Salah upfront through the middle.

Liverpool fans on social media are now wondering what Klopp will do if Firmino fails to recover in time...

Liverpool, who currently sit joint-top of the Premier League table alongside Manchester City, go into their last-16 first leg against Bayern as the narrow favourites.

European nights at Anfield are always incredible occasions and Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is expecting a special atmosphere.

"Everyone who watches a lot football knows it's a special atmosphere," Neuer told ESPN FC.

"Does it matter? Of course. I like it when fans are cheering a lot, close to the goal. But if you want to speak to your colleagues on the pitch it's not that easy when it's loud, they can't hear you.

"You have to speak in a different way. When you see each other and you have good body language, you know what's going on."
