Diogo Jota shares fitness update in Liverpool training ground message
Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has taken to social media to share a fitness update ahead of their Premier League clash with Fulham on Saturday (December 12).
The 28-year-old has been out of action since late October after picking up a rin injury in Liverpool’s 2-1 Premier League win over title rivals Chelsea.
Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo fell on the Portugal international while he was running through on goal, causing Jota to miss Liverpool’s last 12 games across all competitions.
Arne Slot’s side have managed to cope without Jota, sitting at the top of the Premier League and Champions League tables having lost just one game all season.
Jota was a major part of Liverpool’s early season success, starting nine of his ten appearances across all competitions, scoring four goals, and providing two assists in 653 minutes of action.
