Roberto Firmino is 'not close' to returning to training after suffering another injury setback, reveals Jurgen Klopp - as he admits Darwin Nunez is a doubt for Brighton trip, leaving Liverpool with just Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo as forward options

Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Roberto Firmino will miss Liverpool's Premier League clash with Brighton on Saturday, with Darwin Nunez also a doubt after picking up an issue on Thursday.

The Reds boss claimed that the Brazilian forward was originally only expected to be out for '10 days - two weeks', but that the 31-year-old 'felt something' which has lead to the extended period out of action.

The German manager was in an exasperated mood as he hit back at a journalist for asking about Liverpool's transfer activity, and has ruled out any further acquisitions as his side sit in seventh spot in the league.
