Firmino to Take Part in Bayern Match

By Ibrahim El-Shawarby

CAIRO, Feb.19 (SEE)- Liverpool attacker Roberto Firmino was able to overcome his illness and is now ready to take part with the rest of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, ahead of the Reds’ clash with Bayern Munich.

Premier League leaders Liverpool are set to welcome German champions Bayern to Anfield tonight, for a high-profile Champions League last-16 clash.

The Merseysiders head into proceedings with a rare 10-day break from competitive fixtures behind them, having not been involved in this past weekend’s round of FA Cup fixtures.

Bayern, meanwhile, picked up a hard-fought 3 points away to Augsburg on Friday evening, with Borussia Dortmund’s disappointing 0-0 stalemate at Nurnberg last night meaning that Niko Kovac’s men have closed the gap to their table-topping rivals to just 3 Bundesliga points.
