In mid-September in the away match against Tottenham, Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino got a finger in his eye from the spur defender Jan Vertongena.

"I was really afraid that I would go blind in one eye and never be able to see again. Thank God nothing happened. Eyes are very important for a professional football player ", - said Firmino.

"When this happened, everything was blurry and I could not see. It scared me, but after the doctor gave me a painkiller, the pain gradually passed and everything became better. ".

"Now everything is much better. The eye is still a little red, but I hope that in time it will pass. ".

This season, Firmino played 10 matches for Liverpool in all tournaments in which he scored three goals and gave two assists.
