Firmino discharged from hospital following eye injury scare

Liverpool have confirmed that Roberto Firmino has been discharged from hospital following an assessment on an eye injury sustained in Saturday’s 2-1 win at Tottenham.

Firmino scored the goal that ultimately proved the winner at Wembley, but had to receive treatment following a collision with Jan Vertonghen.

The Brazil forward was eventually forced off, holding a pad to his eye, and was sent to hospital for further checks which confirmed an abrasion but no threat of lasting damage.

Firmino travelled back to Liverpool separately from his team-mates and it is not yet known if he will be available for Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

 

It was just a scare, my eye is ok and so am I. Thank you for all the support and see you soon #YNWA Foi só um susto, meu olho está bem e eu também! Obrigado por todo o apoio e a gente se vê logo
