Firmino out of Liverpool US tour

Firmino out of Liverpool US tour
Roberto Firmino is set to miss Liverpool's pre-season tour of United States as he has been given time off after the World Cup. 

 The Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has granted the Brazilian an additional rest after his country Brazil was eliminated from World Cup by Belgium. He will not unite with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Made who both have already linked up with the other teammates. The 26-year-old is instead scheduled to link-up with his team-mates for a four-day training camp in France at the end of July.

 England pair Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, Belgium goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, and Croatia defender Dejan Lovren return a week later, giving them just seven days to prepare for the club's Premier League opener against West Ham on August 12.

 "Bobby will be in for the second camp. Then we have the English guys, Simon and Dejan [to] come another week later," he said.

 "We'll already be back from France and will have exactly one week to prepare [for] the game [against West Ham]. That's no problem."

 Liverpool's trip to the US includes International Champions Cup clashes against Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, and Manchester United.

 The Reds have two friendlies to come, against Bury and Blackburn Rovers, prior to departing.
