Firmino has been an integral part of Liverpool’s success in recent years, playing in the centre of the iconic trio comprising Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. He played a big role in Liverpool winning the Premier League for the first time in 30 years during the 2019-20 season. 

This season, Firmino has scored nine goals and provided four assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. He didn’t feature in Brazil’s squad for the Qatar World Cup 2022 and was injured when the Premier League resumed before featuring as a substitute against Everton on 13 February.
