Jurgen Klopp is hopeful Liverpool forward Diogo Jota will be passed fit to face Tottenham Hotspur despite suffering a 'bad knock' in the win at West Ham on Wednesday.
The Portuguese, who had scored braces against both Leeds United and Nottingham Forest in the Reds past two matches, was on the receiving end of a heavy challenge from behind from Vladimir Coufal minutes before West Ham's early opener in Liverpool's midweek win. While the 26-year-old would play on, he was replaced shortly before the hour-mark against the Hammers.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the Reds' clash with Spurs, Klopp admitted Liverpool will need to take a look at the issue before making his decision. However, the German shared his hope that Jota, who has started all of the Reds' past five games since the March international break, will be passed fit.
