Liverpool boss Klopp admits Jota setback

Liverpool star Diogo Jota will be out for at least one or two weeks in a blow to the team.

The Portugal forward was in good form, scoring in a 3-1 win over Fulham at the weekend.

However, manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Jota has sustained an injury.

Ahead of a midweek Premier League clash against Everton, Klopp said: “Unfortunately, yes. Diogo scored the goal, felt a little bit and now we found out it's a little bit more.

“So he will be out for two weeks.

“Besides that, no [other new injury concerns]."

The manager added of Jota: “I cannot really say a lot about it, to be honest. Before which game where he didn't start, he got a knock – normal challenge, then felt a little bit at the hip. That was then fine because we didn't start him, brought him on, that was alright.

“Then he started the last game, was obviously OK and then with the finish… it's a small one but we are late in the season, so obviously now it's not a great moment for each injury pretty much.

“It's not a big one. When I say two weeks, actually really it's pretty much nothing but enough to not be available."
