Liverpool’s head coach, Jürgen Klopp, has given an update on Diogo Jota’s injury.
Jota will be sidelined for approximately two weeks following an injury sustained during Liverpool’s match against Fulham last weekend.
Jota, who scored Liverpool’s third goal in Sunday’s 3-1 victory over Fulham, will be out of action due to a fitness issue discovered during subsequent assessments.
Klopp mentioned during his pre-Everton press conference that Jota felt discomfort after scoring the goal and further evaluation revealed the extent of the injury.
Regarding Jota’s condition, Klopp stated, “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.”
