spoke about Jota’s recovery.
He told reporters:
"Diogo, I don’t know actually.
"As I said, it is not too serious but as always, you have to wait [to see] how it develops, how it heals.
"It is a little bone in the foot and we have to see. I think he will now be in a boot for two weeks or so and when he gets out of the boot then the doctors will check how it developed, how far the progress is, so I don’t know that but of course, it is not a top moment."
Liverpool are in a tight race to secure a top-four finish. The Reds currently sit fifth in Premier League with 63 points from their 36 matches.

"Ozan isn’t in the long-term [injuries] but nobody is coming back, I think."
