Diogo Jota has handed Liverpool an injury scare after undergoing scans on a suspected recurrence of a hamstring problem.
Jota had tests on Thursday morning in Singapore after hurting himself during the Reds’ training session in the country the previous evening. And there is a fear the striker could again have damaged the hamstring he injured when on international duty with Portugal during the summer.
Jota was one of several senior players to only return for pre-season training last weekend when joining up for the ongoing tour of the Far East. With Liverpool mindful of his fitness, the 25-year-old didn’t take full part in open training on Monday in Bangkok and was absent from the 4-0 friendly defeat to Manchester United the following day.
