Diogo Jota will miss Wednesday’s Merseyside derby after suffering a hip injury in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory over Fulham.
The Portuguese made his first start after a two-month lay-off against the Cottagers - and scored his side’s third goa
Klopp said that the forward is likely to be out for two weeks
That means Jota is also set to miss Liverpool's trip to West Ham United on Saturday and is a doubt for their home clash with Tottenham
Klopp
“Unfortunately, yes. Diogo, Scored the goal, felt a little bit, and now we found out it’s a little bit more.
“He will be out for two weeks. Besides that, no (other new injuries). I cannot really say a lot about it to be honest.
“Before the game he didn’t start, he got a knock. Normal challenge, bam, and felt a little bit in the hip. And that was then fine.
“We didn’t start him, brought him on and that was alright. And then he started the last game. Was obviously okay but then with the finish.
“It’s a small one but we are late in the season. Obviously, it’s now not a great moment for each injury pretty much.
“It’s not a big one. It’s two weeks. Pretty much nothing but enough to not be available.”
