Liverpool’s injury woes continue to mount as Diogo Jota joins an already lengthy list of absentees ahead of their crucial Champions League match against RB Leipzig. The Reds are facing a real test of their depth as they navigate a busy schedule with several key players sidelined.
Diogo Jota’s early goal proved enough for Liverpool to secure a narrow 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace, ensuring they remain at the top of the Premier League table going into the international break. Despite Palace’s early threat and late pressure, Liverpool held on for a crucial win.
Liverpool will be without Federico Chiesa for their Champions League match against Bologna on Wednesday due to injury, but Diogo Jota is expected to be available after a minor issue. Darwin Nunez has also recovered from illness, adding to the attacking options for manager Arne Slot.
New Liverpool manager Arne Slot secured a 2-0 victory over newly promoted Ipswich Town in the Premier League opener thanks to second-half goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah. Salah’s goal also set a new Premier League record for most goals in the opening round of a season.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that forward Diogo Jota will be out for two weeks due to an injury. Jota made his return from a two-month ligament injury as a substitute in Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat to Atalanta on April 11 and started in their 3-1 win over Fulham on Sunday, scoring a goal. However, he has now sustained a new injury that will sideline him for a crucial part of Liverpool’s Premier League title run-in, including the Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday.
Liverpool’s title hopes have been dealt a blow with the news that Diogo Jota will be sidelined for two weeks with an injury. The Portuguese forward had only just returned from a previous injury last week, scoring against Fulham on Saturday. Jota’s latest setback is the only new injury concern for Liverpool, who are still without Thiago Alcantara, Stefan Bajcetic, Ben Doak, Conor Bradley, and Joel Matip. The injury will see Jota miss crucial matches for Liverpool, including the Merseyside derby against Everton on Wednesday.
