Expert Explains Roberto Firmino's Injury (Hamstring Strain) and Timeline
Liverpool's versatile front man Roberto "Bobby" Firmino suffered a hamstring injury during the team's 2-0 Champions League win over Atletico Madrid. Manager Jurgen Klopp described it as a "serious injury," with Firmino expected to be out for more than four weeks. This suggests either a higher grade two hamstring tear (three to four weeks recovery) or a grade three full rupture (six plus weeks recovery, possibly requiring surgery). Upon his return, preventing re-injury will be crucial, as studies show a nearly 30% re-injury rate within the first two weeks of returning. Further updates will follow.
