Diogo Jota is a huge fan favourite on the pitch at Liverpool, now midway through his fifth season at the club. He has been a part of very good sides under Jurgen Klopp and now Arne Slot, though he has not achieved the team success his career has perhaps deserved.

Diogo Jota, when fit, is an important player for Liverpool who often comes up with big goals. The Portuguese star can be prone to injuries, however, causing Arne Slot to prefer other options to start up front in his side.

Jota spoke about his time playing alongside Matip. The striker says that Matip was an outstanding player who he really misses playing alongside. Matip left Liverpool on a free transfer at the end of last season, and while West Ham considered signing Matip, he has since retired from football.

Arne Slot says that Diogo Jota will be out for “weeks rather than months” after the Liverpool attacker suffered another agonising injury setback. The Portugal international missed Saturday’s dramatic win at Brentford after complaining of discomfort in a muscle following the midweek draw with Nottingham Forest.

Diogo Jota is facing “weeks” out after suffering a fresh injury setback, Arne Slot has confirmed. The Liverpool forward scored off the bench to earn Liverpool a point against Nottingham Forest last week, but he picked up an injury in that cameo and missed Saturday’s win over Brentford.

Liverpool return to Champions League action when they host Lille at Anfield on Tuesday night but will be without the injured Diogo Jota.

Liverpool star Diogo Jota heaped praise on Mohamed Salah in an exclusive interview with ESPN, saying he should be considered one of the greatest players in the club's history.

Diogo Jota could be fit enough to face Bournemouth on Saturday as Liverpool look to extend their lead in the Premier League title race. The Reds travel to the south coast with a six point advantage over Arsenal having played a game less.

Darwin Nunez was ill midweek as Liverpool played PSV in the Champions League while Curtis Jones limped off the week before against Lille. Arne Slot has the latest.
