Jurgen Klopp Says Roberto Firmino Could Play vs. Watford After Ankle Injury

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has said the ankle injury suffered by Roberto Firmino at Manchester United is not serious, and the forward could feature against Watford on Wednesday.

The Reds host the Hornets in a vital Premier League clash at Anfield, and it was feared Firmino might miss a number of games after his first-half substitution at Old Trafford during the 0-0 draw on Feb. 24.

Per the club's official website, Klopp confirmed the Brazil international is recovering but has a better chance of playing against Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park on Sunday.
