Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota will miss the 2022 World Cup finals with Portugal due to a serious calf muscle issue, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the first diagnosis of Jota’s injury was very clear, and it is sad news for both Portugal and Liverpool to lose the forward for a while ahead of crunch football competitions.
Klopp added that Jota will be out for months at least, but no specific time frame has been given.
His words, “The first diagnosis was clear and it’s very sad news for us. We have to look at [player welfare], we always do and if we can consider things lineup-wise, we will. It’s an intense period, we’re used to it but full energy is required again versus West Ham.”
“We’re talking about months. I don’t want to put a time on it. It will be a long time.”
