The Liverpool forward will be hoping to find his goalscoring touch whilst on international duty as Brazil face Venezuela and Uruguay.
Brazil coach Tite has confirmed Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino will be handed a new role for his country’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
The Liverpool striker will be looking to rediscover his goalscoring touch with the Selecao as his position at club level comes under further scrutiny.
In the final game before the international break, Jurgen Klopp opted to start all four of his attacking players, including new signing Diogo Jota.
The summer signing has seven goals in his opening 11 games for the Reds, with many believing he should take the place of Firmino in Klopp’s XI.
However, in the draw vs Man City, the Brazilian forward was utilised behind the front three of Jota, Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane.
That allowed him to dictate play from a deeper position, during an impressive first-half showing
And with Neymar missing the games against Venezuela and Uruguay, Tite has been forced to shuffle his deck, with Firmino playing in a position described as “more bow than arrow”.
