Jürgen Klopp has updated Diogo Jota’s knee injury in Wednesday’s Champions League clash with FC Midtjylland.
The number 20 will face a spell on the sidelines with the problem, but it does not require surgery, according to the boss.
Kostas Tsimikas was also injured during the weeknight trip to Denmark.
Speaking about Jota before the Reds’ Premier League game with Fulham, Klopp told Sky Sports: “Yeah, he’s worse than we initially thought and better than we thought.
“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 “.
