• Brazilian doubt for semi-final first leg after suffering muscle tear
• Liverpool back on top after beating Huddersfield 5-0 at Anfield
Liverpool’s return to the top of the Premier League was tempered by Jürgen Klopp’s admission that Roberto Firmino could miss Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona through injury.
The influential Brazil international was absent from the 5-0 rout of Huddersfield after suffering a slight tear to a groin muscle in training on Thursday. Klopp indicated it was only a minor problem before kick-off, although conceded afterwards that Firmino is a doubt for the first leg at the Camp Nou.
