Roberto Firmino is set to miss Liverpool's game at Southampton on Sunday after withdrawing from the Brazil squad.

A statement from the Brazilian FA on Saturday said Firmino has a knock and will miss their upcoming games against Uruguay and Paraguay.

And that leaves Jurgen Klopp facing a trip to St Mary's without a player who has hit form in 2016 with eight goals.
