Arne Slot says that Diogo Jota will be out for “weeks rather than months” after the Liverpool attacker suffered another agonising injury setback. The Portugal international missed Saturday’s dramatic win at Brentford after complaining of discomfort in a muscle following the midweek draw with Nottingham Forest.

Diogo Jota is facing “weeks” out after suffering a fresh injury setback, Arne Slot has confirmed. The Liverpool forward scored off the bench to earn Liverpool a point against Nottingham Forest last week,

Diogo Jota was ruled out of Liverpool's 2-0 win over Brentford at the weekend and the Portuguese forward won't be imminently returning to action.

Liverpool return to Champions League action when they host Lille at Anfield on Tuesday night but will be without the injured Diogo Jota.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot believes it is "too early" to describe his team at the best in the world, despite being labelled as such by Brentford boss Thomas Frank.

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota missed training and is a doubt for Saturday's Premier League clash against Brentford, head coach Arne Slot said on the eve of the match.

Arne Slot has Liverpool top of the Premier League and the Champions League tables but he has spotted something that needs to be improved - and Diogo Jota can be the man to fix it
