Liverpool forward Diogo Jota looks to have handed the Reds a timely boost with a social media post.
The Portuguese forward has been sidelined since picking up an ankle ligament issue against Inter Milan last week.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed in the pre-match press conference that the 25-year-old – as well as Roberto Firmino – would miss the Premier League clash with Leeds United at Anfield.
We will continue to monitor the fitness of Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.

However, BarbersNo1 on Instagram set tongues wagging with a post of Jota receiving a haircut in the build-up to the Carabao Cup final.

Unsurprisingly, the caption ‘FINAL READY’ truly caused a stir on social media as Kopites got excited about the return of their lethal marksman.
This season Jota has scored 17 times and provided three assists across all competitions – including three strikes on the run to the final.

What a seismic boost it would be to have the £54million valued ace fit and available.
Although the strength of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino would’ve been a challenge for Chelsea, few defenders have been able to cope with Jota this term.
Having already proven to be extraordinary value for money time and time again, a cup winning goal would only further cement a burgeoning Liverpool legacy.
