Diogo Jota could miss Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Fulham this weekend, Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.
The champions head to Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon, looking to at least stay joint-top with current leaders Tottenham, depending on how they fare at Crystal Palace earlier in the day.
Liverpool’s injury problems are showing signs of easing, but a fresh issue has arisen.
Speaking to the press on Friday afternoon, Klopp gave a key update on Jota, as well as Kostas Tsimikas:
Kostas and Diogo we have to see, he got a knock as well.

This is another big blow for Liverpool, should Jota ended up missing out this weekend. The Portuguese has been a revelation for the Reds so far, scoring nine goals in his first 17 appearances.
Should Jota be out, it would appear as though Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino will all start against Fulham.
That may not be ideal, however, with Spurs heading to Anfield just three days later.
Klopp has a big decision to make in that respect, with Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi potential options.
