Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed that forward Diogo Jota will be out for two weeks after suffering another injury.
Liverpool travel to face Everton on Wednesday night in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park but will be without Jota, who has picked up another problem in what has been a frustrating season for the Portuguese international.
The forward has missed 11 Premier League games through injury this season and after scoring for the Reds in their 3-1 away win at Fulham on Sunday, he is now expected to miss the next three games with a hip issue.
“Unfortunately, yes,” Klopp replied, when asked if Liverpool had any new injury concerns.
“Diogo scored the goal, felt a little bit and now we found out it’s a little bit more.
“So he’ll be out for two weeks. Besides that, no.”
When asked about the severity of the injury, Klopp said: “I cannot really say a lot about it, to be honest.
“Before [the Atalanta] game he got a knock, real challenge and felt a little bit in the hip.
“That was then fine, we didn’t start him, brought him on, then he started the last game, was obviously OK, but then with the finish [he felt it].
“It’s a small one, but we’re now late in the season. It’s not a big one, two weeks is pretty much nothing, but enough to not be available. That’s it.”
