Liverpool have confirmed that Roberto Firmino has not yet been ruled out of the club's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, after he was discharged from hospital this evening.
Firmino was forced off during the second half of Liverpool's 2-1 win at Wembley over Tottenham Hotspur after sustaining an eye injury.
The Brazilian has now been discharged from hospital and Liverpool have issued a statement, confirming he has not yet been ruled out of playing against PSG, with a decision to be taken closer to kick-off on Tuesday.
The Reds, providing an update, said in a statement: "A hospital examination confirmed an abrasion of the eye, but there will be no lasting damage.
"The issue will be monitored and treated by Liverpool’s medical staff at Melwood before any decision is made on whether Firmino will be able to figure in Tuesday evening’s Champions League encounter with Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield. At this stage, the No.9 has not been ruled out.
"Firmino travelled back to Merseyside separately from his teammates with club doctor Andy Massey following the positive assessment."
The Reds also revealed that Firmino's team-mates, along with the club's staff, sent the Brazilian a video message as they headed back to Merseyside.
"The players and staff onboard the club flight back to Liverpool sent the Brazilian a video wishing him well, recorded on the team plane."
The Brazilian, who picked up the injury after clash with Jan Vertonghen, scored Liverpool's winning goal at Wembley, maintaining the Reds' 100 per cent start to the new Premier League campaign.
