Roberto Firmino availability confirmed but Jurgen Klopp gives bad Darwin Nunez injury news for Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp confirmed Roberto Firmino is available for his farewell Anfield appearance but ruled out fellow Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez for the clash against Aston Villa.

The Brazilian hasn't featured since the Reds' 6-1 victory over Leeds United last month because of injury, but returned to team training this week. Meanwhile, Nunez missed Liverpool's 3-0 victory over Leicester City on Monday night with a toe injury.

And speaking ahead of the Reds' final home game of the season against Aston Villa, which could act as a final Anfield appearance for Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after the club confirmed all four would be leaving this summer at the end of their contracts, Klopp confirmed the Brazilian is fit while ruling out the Uruguayan.

"Personally? I'm still injured, that's true!" Klopp joked when asked for an injury update, referring to his injured hamstring when celebrating his side's last-minute win against Tottenham last month.

"Yes, Darwin will not be available. It's an inflammation of the tendon in the toe. Very painful, obviously. He won't be available, didn't train yet this week so will not be available for tomorrow.

"The long-term injuries are still out but all the rest should be available. Bobby? Bobby trained."
