Jota sustained the injury in the weekend's win over Manchester City.

Diogo Jota is set for a prolonged spell on the sidelines due to the calf muscle injury he sustained against Manchester City on Sunday, which will also rule him out of Portugal’s World Cup campaign.

The forward was carried from the pitch in stoppage time of the 1-0 win at Anfield and will subsequently miss Liverpool’s remaining eight fixtures prior to the international break in November, as well as his country’s participation in the Qatar finals.

Jota does not require surgery on the issue, however.

Offering an update at his pre-West Ham United press conference, Jürgen Klopp confirmed: “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.

“That is the first diagnosis, which was pretty clear, and all the rest will now follow in the next few days.

“It is very sad news for the boy, and for us as well of course [and] for Portugal.”

Klopp did not put a timescale on Jota’s return to action, adding: “[It will have a] big impact. So now we can say that because he will not be in for a long time; we talk about months.

“So, we will see. I don’t want to put now a number on it because I always hope in the middle of the rehab there is a very positive development and we can cut days off the rehab phase, but it will be long.”

The injury is the second Jota has suffered in 2022-23 so far, with the No.20 missing the opening weeks of the campaign due to a hamstring complaint.

Asked how the 25-year-old had reacted to the news, Klopp said: “It’s Diogo and he’s surprisingly OK, so far. He is an incredibly smart boy and very reflective.

“I think he knew it when we carried him off the pitch, when I spoke to him for a second. When I came out, we passed each other after the game and he explained what happened. I think in that moment he knew already it was a serious one and could be pretty impactful for his World Cup dreams.”

Every world cup player should be careful this period... world cup is just a month away... any little mistake...u will miss it... I guess Ronaldo is being very careful so thst he can unleash his final powers

So unfortunate

GOD abeg preserve Leo Messi for me. I want to watch him play again.

Portugal will definitely miss him, it would have been better if it was Ronald that gonna miss the world cup for Portugal, he is old and it looks as if Portugal couch is afraid of benching him, all he does is waste chances upon chances, Portugal will not go far in the world cup if they continue to start Ronald despite his awful display, if he doesn't play well he should be benched

Liverpool can't do this horrible thing to a youngster and expect Karma not to visit their camp


We go dey throw that juju inside Anfield on a daily

chaiiii eyahhh so unfortunate.... and this is supposed first world cup oh....get well soon Diogo

Chai. Who curse Liverpool with injury this season

One of Portugals best.
Doubt if they can go far in the competition with ageing Ronaldo and an inconsistent Bruno.

Everything will be wrong with this particular worldcup

Playing world Cup in the middle of league season

See what Blatter and his kids caused

But he just recovered
This WC no go sweet, missing too many stars

It is what it is Hermano.

Ronaldo is done... Your hear me? Done!

I told you all Ronaldo's game will die before Messi's game... Why? Ronaldo got absolutely nothing else to offer except goals.
And now his body can no longer withstand those young bastard defenders that have zero respect for their elders.

Messi on the other hand... Odogowu too understands that his body armor is no longer what it used to be... But yet he will always be useful on the pitch... He is an all round player... Pure talent and can fit in any position except the defense.

I admire Ronaldo, but don't compare him to Messi. Real Madrid went on to win more Champions league as Ronaldo left,,, he was easily replaced... But Barcelona is still screaming for Messi to return.

Alot of people can do what Ronaldo does... And even do it better. But Messi? Legend has it that we may never see another being like him... The future generations will name him along side the Greek demi gods... They will envy us for being privileged to watch Messi play live!

Have you ever heard of Marco Reus?

Well, it doesn’t seem like Portugal will be the World Champion with a 37yr old fraud leading the line. Lets just say, he won’t be missing much.

Wow.. my Lovely Jota

Dis guy destroyed Mancity defence

Jota
Diaz
Are all gone

Nunez, Now it's your turn to show your abilities and potential....

Calvahor on standby

Messi i take God beg you.... Abeg you in the name of God. Stay away from injury.

Any tackle, any sliding, and evil leg breaking or bending challenge.


I beg you

This is just sad... This is what you get fixing a world cup tournament at the middle of a season, killing players dreams upandan
