Liverpool team news: Predicted 4-3-3 line up to face Newcastle – Klopp on Firmino latest
LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp has given an injury update on Roberto Firmino ahead of the Reds' Premier League clash with Newcastle this evening (7.45pm).
Liverpool will definitely be without Naby Keita after the midfielder was ruled out for the rest of the season following a groin injury against Barca.
“He was in a really good moment - a really, really good moment - but it happened, that’s how football and life sometimes are,” said Klopp.
“It’s not too nice, but it’s very serious.”
Adam Lallana is still sidelined but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to be named in the squad due to Keita’s absence, having made his return from injury against Huddersfield last week.

“It’s very good that Ox is there and he will be for sure in the squad,” said Klopp.
“Then we have to make a decision who starts.”
Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum are likely to make up the midfield three if James Milner is rested.
Meanwhile, Trent Alexander-Arnold should return after being overlooked for Joe Gomez in midweek while Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri are options if Firmino is not passed fit.
