According to Liverpool manager Arne Slot, Diogo Jota is doubtful for their next match against RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

The Reds beat Chelsea 2-1 in the Premier League on Sunday, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones, who Gary Neville had huge praise for.

Slot’s team managed to stay at the top of the league standings after winning 21 points out of a possible 24 this season.

However, their win against Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea side came at a cost when Jota was injured in the match and had to be substituted and replaced by Darwin Nunez in the first half.

Slot has now provided an update about the injured star, claiming that he is most likely going to miss the match against RB Leipzig in midweek.
