Roberto Firmino has undergone a scan on his right ankle and is a major doubt for Wednesday’s Premier League fixture against Watford.
The 27-year-old Liverpool forward twisted his ankle during Sunday’s game against Manchester United and had to leave Old Trafford on crutches as a result. The Brazilian tried to shake it off but had to be replaced after just half an hour of the first half.
