"We have Diogo with a knee issue, is ruled out. it will obviously take months.”

"Another setback 😣 I will fight to be back as soon as possible" 💪🏻
Jota has been a key performer for Liverpool this season. The 27-year-old has made 28 appearances for Liverpool across all competitions, scoring 14 goals and registering four assists.
Liverpool manager speaks on his club's current injury woes
The Reds boss has revealed that his club's injury crisis isn't an excuse for them to take their feet off the pedal as they enter into a crucial part of the season.
The Merseyside giants are currently top of the league and are also in the final of the Carabao Cup. However, they have been plagued with injuries in recent weeks that could make or break their season.

“I always had to be flexible, always. It’s not a real problem to be honest, as long as you have the players available, you use the boys, you know what they can do."
