LATEST REPORTS 🚨Arne Slot on Diogo Jota injury and squad fitness

Liverpool are waiting to discover the extent of the injury that forced Diogo Jota from the field in the victory over Chelsea on Sunday, but Arne Slot doesn’t expect to have him available for the forthcoming trip to RB Leipzig.

The forward left the action during the first half of the 2-1 win at Anfield due to an issue, with Darwin Nunez replacing him after 30 minutes of play.

Jota will now be assessed by the Reds’ medical team; however, Slot is anticipating him being ruled out of the Champions League tie in Germany on Wednesday.

The head coach said: “Diogo had to be substituted and I am not sure what it is, but I’d be surprised if he is there on Wednesday.”

Meanwhile, Slot revealed Liverpool had a number of fitness concerns to contend with in the build-up to the encounter with Chelsea.

“I have a lot of confidence in this team, but you also saw today – after the international break – that we have some problems,” he explained.

“Conor Bradley is not in; Trent [Alexander-Arnold], you probably don’t know, was also not training in the first days after he came back, so he was a bit of a doubt before we started the game. [And] then we had Macca [Alexis Mac Allister] being sick.”
