The manager of Liverpool Football Club, Jurgen Klopp has given an update on the fitness of Diogo Jota going into the game against Luton and the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.
The Portuguese international suffered an injury during Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Brentford at the Community Stadium on Saturday, February 17, 2024. Klopp was speaking at a rematch press conference ahead of the game against Luton Town.
He said,
“With Diogo, it will take months. With injuries, you have important days; day five, day 10 is then when you judge the situation again because nobody reacts in the same way and it depends on the pain level they still have. I couldn’t give you a time frame, even if I wanted to, so that’s how it is.”
He added,
“It [the injury situation] is not great. Definitely not. I would like to sit here and say we have absolutely no issues, but we have some. Not available, Alisson. That’s a muscle injury where we don’t know exactly how long it takes, but definitely not for the foreseeable time. We have Diogo Jota with a knee issue, Curtis Jones with a bone ligament issue and then we have the others where we will deal with it day-by-day. With muscle things, we will see for tomorrow (Wednesday). That’s it, pretty much. Trent (Alexander-Arnold) and Dom (Szoboszlai) are on the way back, but not in team training yet and so that means they are not available as well.”
Liverpool supporters will hope every injured player on the squad gets fit as we get into the business end of the season.
