Diogo Jota will miss six to eight weeks due to injury, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed.
Jota injured his knee during a 1-1 draw with FC Midtjylland in the Champions League on Wednesday, but Klopp said the forward does not need surgery.
“It’s worse than we first thought and better than we thought,” Klopp said before Liverpool’s Premier League game against Fulham.
“All the potential surgeons reviewed it, no surgery is needed. But it will be out for a while. We don’t know exactly, but a month and a half, two months. We don’t know exactly. It is quite similar with Kostas Tsimikas, by the way. Incredible.”
Klopp added: “It was first after the game. We saw the situation when he received it; he himself, nobody would have thought that something happened there.
“We took him off the court and he said ‘I feel a little bit’ and the next day, he scans and then a surgeon has to look at him. This is how we do it, different information. In the end, it is strange but we were happy to have heard the diagnosis final “.
