Dejan Lovren is also likely to miss the Bayern clash

Jurgen Klopp is already facing a crisis at centre-back, with star man Virgil van Dijk suspended and Joe Gomez missing through injury.Dejan Lovren was also absent from training on Monday and looks unlikely to pass a late fitness test on a hamstring problem.And now, the Liverpool Echo reports that Firmino could add to his manager’s woes after picking up a virus before the Bundesliga giants come to town.He becomes the fourth Liverpool player to fall ill since the start of the month, following a warm-weather trip to Dubai in January.4

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain took part in the warm-up on Monday

Klopp said:“I don’t know 100 per cent. It’s Monday and we play on Tuesday so most of that should be clear.“Gini [Wijnaldum] trained and looked really well. [Xherdan] Shaqiri did a lot, so it will be close, we have to see.“Dejan [Lovren], I actually have to wait minute by minute if there is a chance or not.“But that’s pretty much all, I would say.”4

The England midfielder has been out since last April

It seems increasingly likely that Fabinho will partner Joel Matip in defence for the first leg of the Bayern tie.In better news, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was pictured in training at Melwood on Monday.Chamberlain is yet to return to full training though and only took part in the warm-up.The England international is continuing his rehabilitation from a serious knee injury suffered last April.
