(Reuters) - Liverpool's Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino sustained a serious hamstring injury in Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid and there is no timeline for the 30-year-old's return, manager Juergen Klopp said on Friday.
The injury could rule Firmino out for a number of matches, starting with Sunday's Premier League trip to West Ham United as second-placed Liverpool look to close a three-point gap on leaders Chelsea.
"Bobby is not good news with a serious hamstring injury, really unfortunate. We don't know exactly how long he'll be out but it'll be not now after the international break directly. We have to work on that," Klopp told Liverpool's website. "Curtis is a completely different story , he was unlucky in training – he got a finger that scratched the eye. I had a lot of injuries to players in my career, that was not involved," Klopp added.
