Roberto Firmino has linked up with the Liverpool squad ahead of tonight’s Champions League last 16 clash with Bayern Munich at Anfield.

The Brazilian striker had been a doubt for the visit of the German champions after missing training at Melwood on Monday after being sidelined by a virus.

However, he was given the green light to meet up with his team-mates at Anfield as the players completed their preparations for the first leg showdown.

Liverpool were always hopeful that he would recover in time to lead the line against Niko Kovac’s side.

Daniel Sturridge had been on standby to start.

It means that Firmino looks set to extend his record of being the only man to appear in all 34 European games for the Reds under Jurgen Klopp.

Dejan Lovren missed training yesterday which rules him out of the visit of Bayern.

The Croatian centre-back hasn’t played since January 7 due to a hamstring injury and has lost his battle to be fit for the showdown with the Bundesliga champions.

As a result Fabinho is set to deputise at centre-back alongside Joel Matip as Virgil van Dijk serves a one-match ban.
