Liverpool receive huge injury boost in time for Real Madrid Champions League clash

Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Diogo Jota is on course to be fit for Liverpool's Champions League clash against Real Madrid next month.

Jota, 26, has not played since suffering a calf injury during the dying moments of Liverpool's 1-0 win against Manchester City three months ago. The Portuguese needed to be stretchered off due to the severity of the complaint and missed the World Cup in Qatar.

Jota has since returned to light training but will not be involved in Liverpool's FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves at Molineux on Tuesday night. Klopp has revealed the forward "looks really good" and is hopeful he will be available to face Real in February.
