Jurgen Klopp reveals Diogo Jota injury worry as two Liverpool stars return to training

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Diogo Jota is an injury doubt for Liverpool's clash with Fulham on Wednesday evening.

The Portuguese scored the winner goal in the pulsating 4-3 victory over Tottenham on Sunday but remains hampered by a back issue sustained against West Ham last week.

Speaking on his front three, Klopp said: "If we have only three for three positions, it's easy to lineup, but we have five to name, it's just a job to do.

"Bobby is out, Diogo is struggling [back issue]. Couldn't train v Spurs but played and hasn't trained since. He is a doubt, I hope he recovers."

Meanwhile, Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita are nearing a return - but won't be fit for Fulham. Firmino has missed Liverpool's previous three matches due to a muscle issue.

Keita, meanwhile, has not featured since the end of February after sustaining an injury on international duty with Guinea at the start of March, keeping him on the sidelines for an extend spell.

The 28-year-old recently returned to first-team training but isn't ready yet for Fulham.

Klopp said: "Bobby is training and looks good. Pretty much the same for Naby."
