Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino injury update as Liverpool sweat on Carabao Cup final

Jurgen Klopp has hinted that Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino will miss the League Cup final with Chelsea after ruling the duo out of Liverpool's midweek clash with Leeds United.

The two forwards missed Saturday's comeback win over Norwich City with an ankle and muscle injury respectively, having suffered the setbacks against Inter Milan last week, and were missing from training on Monday.

And while Klopp was reluctant to rule the duo out of facing Chelsea altogether, he admitted it's currently not looking good for the pair.

"No for tomorrow, no chance," he told reporters. "For the final, we will see. I really don't know in the moment.

"It would be easy to now say no but we will see. They are pushing but they were not on the pitch for training so that is not a good sign.

"We have to see what we can do with the boys in the next few days and then we make a decision later in the week.

"I would love to have Bobby and Diogo available. That will not happen for tomorrow night. It is like it is."
