Jurgen Klopp gives Liverpool injury update on Diogo Jota after half-time withdrawl during Inter Milan win
Diogo Jota was taken off at half-time in Liverpool’s victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp revealed that Diogo Jota suffered an ankle injury in Liverpool’s 2-0 Champions League victory over Inter Milan.
The striker was substituted at half-time at the San Siro when the game was goalless.
Jota was replaced by Roberto Firmino - who opened the scoring for the Reds in the 75th minute.
Mo Salah then added a second with seven minutes remaining as Liverpool put themselves in the driving seat to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.
Klopp is hopeful that Jota’s problem isn’t too bad ahead of Norwich City’s visit to Anfield this Saturday.
Speaking to BT Sport, Klopp said: “Diogo had to go off with something around the ankle ligament. We will see.
“We don’t know exactly. He could play on, that’s usually a good sign but, at half-time, the ankle was swollen so we had to change.”
Jota did not start last Sunday’s 1-0 win at Burnley because of a dead leg.
