Roberto Firmino, the Brazilian forward who plays for Liverpool FC in England and Al Ahli SC in Egypt, has sustained a new injury. The latest update on his health is that he will undergo surgery to repair a ligament tear in his right knee.
The news comes after Firmino was forced off during Liverpool's Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford last weekend with a suspected knee injury. He was taken off the pitch on a stretcher and later revealed that he had sustained a torn meniscus in his knee.
The 29-year-old Brazilian striker is known for his skillful dribbling, excellent passing ability, and his ability to score goals from all positions on the field. His presence in the team has been crucial in their recent successes, especially in the Champions League where they have made it to the quarter-finals this season.
Firmino has previously suffered from a variety of injuries throughout his career, including a cruciate ligament tear in his left knee while playing for Hoffenheim in Germany in 2015, and a broken leg in 2017 when he played for Bayern Munich.
Injuries can be difficult for any player to deal with, but Firmino's dedication and determination to continue playing despite his setbacks have earned him the respect of his teammates and fans alike. He continues to train hard and work towards making a full recovery as soon as possible.
