Jurgen Klopp confirmed it was the worst case scenario for Diogo Jota, with the Liverpool forward ruled out until after the World Cup.
The Portuguese international, who was a certainty to be in Fernando Santos’s squad for Qatar admitted his dream had ‘collapsed’ with the calf muscle issue he picked up vs Manchester City set to keep him on the sidelines until next year.
“It’s really not good news about Diogo. Yes, he will miss the World Cup. [It’s a] pretty serious injury in the calf muscle and now the recovery process starts. That’s it pretty much,” Klopp explained on Tuesday.
