Roberto Firmino, the Liverpool forward, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for several weeks and is now set to miss a significant amount of time.

The Brazilian international was injured during Liverpool's match against Chelsea on Sunday and was taken off the pitch in tears. He has since undergone tests and it appears that he will be out for at least four weeks.

This news comes as a blow for Liverpool, who were hoping to use Firmino's goalscoring prowess to help them challenge for the Premier League title this season. The club's manager, Jurgen Klopp, has already stated that Firmino's absence could have a major impact on their chances of success.

Firmino has been one of Liverpool's most important players over the past few seasons, scoring crucial goals and providing assists for his teammates. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by both him and the team as they look to find ways to compensate for his loss.

However, despite the setback, Liverpool remain confident that they can overcome the injury and continue their impressive form. They have a strong squad and plenty of talented players who can step up and fill the void left by Firmino's absence.

In the meantime, Liverpool will turn to their other forwards such as Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah to try and make up for the loss of Firmino. It remains to be seen how much of an impact this will have on Liverpool's campaign, but one thing is certain - they will need all their firepower if they want to compete with Manchester City and Arsenal for the Premier League title.
