Liverpool boss Klopp admits concern over Jota injury

Liverpool are waiting to discover the extent of the Diogo Jota's injury after their win over Manchester City.

The Reds were victorious at Anfield against the champions, getting a 1-0 success over Pep Guardiola's team through a Mohamed Salah goal.

However, the result was marred by a late injury to Jota, who collapsed holding his right leg before going off on a stretcher late in the game.

“Diogo, I wish I didn't have to talk about it," said manager Jurgen Klopp post-game.

“I saw it on sideline on the screen, I saw that he went down and there wasn't a lot of contact.

“You can see a little bit that someone kicks his foot and maybe the muscle got a little bit overstretched.

“After 96 minutes, that's not good for a muscle and he felt it immediately and now we have to wait to find out how bad it is."
