«Breaking News» Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp unsure how severe Roberto Firmino's eye injury is

Roberto Firmino has eased injury fears after revealing 'my eye is okay and so am I' after the Brazilian forward was forced off after being gouged in the eye during the win over Tottenham.

The striker was running down the right channel during the second-half when Spurs defender Jan Vertonghen poked him in the eye as they tussled for the ball.

Firmino stayed down and received on-field treatment before being withdrawn by Klopp and replaced by Jordan Henderson with around 20 minutes to go at Wembley.

Firmino was immediately taken from Wembley to Moorfields Eye Hospital in London with Liverpool's team medic Andy Massey for checks but has since been discharged.

A club statement read: 'A hospital examination confirmed an abrasion of the eye, but there will be no lasting damage.

'The issue will be monitored and treated by Liverpool’s medical staff at Melwood before any decision is made on whether Firmino will be able to figure in Tuesday evening’s Champions League encounter with Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield. At this stage, the No 9 has not been ruled out.

'Firmino travelled back to Merseyside separately from his teammates with club doctor Andy Massey following the positive assessment.

'The players and staff onboard the club flight back to Liverpool sent the Brazilian a video wishing him well, recorded on the team plane.'

Firmino also checked in on social media and eased any concerns by saying: 'It was just a scare, my eye is ok and so am I. Thank you for all the support and see you soon #YNWA'.

The injury was the only negative to come from Saturday lunchtime's 2-1 win over Spurs that ensured Liverpool's perfect start to the season remained intact.

Georginio Wijnaldum put the Reds ahead after Michel Vorm failed to deal with a corner properly and the Dutchman's header back towards goal crossed the line.

Firmino doubled Liverpool's lead early in the second-half as he capitalised on another misjudgement from Vorm before lashing the ball into the net. Erik Lamela pulled one back for the hosts but it was too little too late.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
