His Liverpool teammates are currently out in Dubai - but it appears Roberto Firmino has been left behind.

Jurgen Klopp has taken his squad for a short break following their exertions over the typically hectic festive period.

With eight days until their huge showdown with runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City at Anfield, Klopp afforded his players a few days' rest with a flight out to Dubai on Saturday.

A number of the club's fitness and performance staff have travelled with the squad to oversee some fitness work, but Firmino appears to have stayed behind.

Instead, the Brazil international has headed for Cyprus to meet up with Liverpool 's Allan Rodrigues, who is currently on loan at Apollon Limassol.

Firmino was pictured on his wife Larissa's Instagram story as the couple met up with Allan and his partner Jordana in Limassol.

It is unclear at this stage if Firmino was left behind due to the looming possibility of an FA probe after his clash with Everton's Mason Holgate in the Merseyside derby.

Firmino was shoved into the crowd at Anfield in the first-half of their 2-1 victory in Friday's derby and reacted angrily by squaring up to Holgate.

The Brazilian was captured on camera shouting at Holgate in Portuguese after confronting the Blues centre-back in front of referee Bobby Madley.

An FA spokesperson confirmed on Saturday: "The FA can confirm that referee Bobby Madley was made aware of an allegation during the Liverpool versus Everton game at Anfield last night and has subsequently reported this to The FA, which will now begin making enquiries into the matter."

A Liverpool spokesperson said: “The club and player will fully co-operate with the relevant authorities to ensure the facts are established in a thorough manner if deemed necessary or requested.

“While that process is ongoing we will not be making any further comment.”

Firmino has been in fine form this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions.
