Liverpool line up for Napoli confirmed as Reds avoid injury blow

Roberto Firmino returns to Liverpool's starting lineup as Andy Robertson is passed fit for the Champions League opener at Napoli this evening.

Robertson had been a doubt for the game after missing training on Monday at Melwood, but was passed fit on Tuesday, while Firmino returns in place of Divock Origi who hobbled off in the first half against Newcastle on Saturday.

Meanwhile James Milner returns to the midfield alongside captain Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
