A number of Liverpool supporters are over the moon after Roberto Firmino returned to training on Thursday, following a lengthy injury absence.

The Reds are back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon, with Jurgen Klopp's side hosting Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa.

It is sure to be an emotional occasion on Anfield but Liverpool must focus on the job in hand and pick up another three points in the title race.

Klopp's injury woes have eased significantly in recent weeks, and on Thursday, he was further boosted by Firmino returning to training, as confirmed by the club's official Twitter account.

The Brazilian hasn't played since the 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid in early November because of a hamstring issue.
