Injury: Diogo Jota ruled out for the rest of season
Liverpool and Portuguese forward, Diogo Jota, has been ruled out for the remainder of the Premier League season with a foot injury.
The former Wolves player missed the trip to West Brom after suffering an injury during Thursday’s 4-2 victory at Manchester United.
Manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed Jota’s absence during an interview with Sky Sports on Sunday as the Reds brighten their chance of a Champions League qualification with two matches left.
Klopp said: “No good thing without a bad thing – so we won at Manchester United but Diogo got something with the bone.
“Not too serious but serious enough to end the season for him.”
“It is how it is,” Klopp added.
“MRI scans don’t help us. If somebody goes in this machine, I can’t remember the last time when he came out and said, ‘oh fine, it’s nothing, it’s just pain’. It’s a while ago.”
Since joining Liverpool from Wolves in the summer, Jota scored 13 goals in 29 appearances and missed almost three months with a knee injury, before making a return in March.
The 24-year-old is expected to make a return in time for this summer’s Euro 2020 competition.
