Liverpool to jet Brazilians home for the derby

Last updated : 18 February 2023 By LFC Online

Liverpool have hired a private jet to fly Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino back from international duty with Brazil. 

 
The pair are in the squad for Brazil's World Cup qualifier with Paraguay in Sao Paolo, which ends in the early hours of Wednesday morning UK time. 
 
 Jurgen Klopp will hope to have both players available for training on the Thursday and for team selection for Saturday's game against Everton at Anfield.
 
It may be a tall order and we could see both players starting on the bench for the crucial Premier League fixture, but Klopp will want as strong a squad as possible for a game which could be crucial for their Champions League ambitions next season.
