Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that Diogo Jota will miss the World Cup with Portugal later this year due to an injury sustained during Sunday's 1-0 win over Manchester City.
The Reds manager issued the grim update during his pre-match presser ahead of Liverpool's upcoming Premier League contest at home against West Ham. Klopp said: "Not good news, about Diogo, he will miss the World Cup, pretty serious injury in the calf muscle. The process starts from now."
While Klopp went on to explain how it will be a case of months spent on the sidelines for the Portugal international, Jota is thought to have already gone some way in coming to terms with the seriousness of his injury.
