Liverpool suffer major blow as key player ruled out of Merseyside derby vs Everton
With no room for mistake as they continue their tight chase for the crown with Manchester City and Arsenal, the Reds go to Goodison Park on Wednesday night.
Liverpool bounced back from a shocking loss to Crystal Palace on Sunday by defeating Fulham 3-1.
Additionally, Diogo Jota scored the third goal at Craven Cottage on his first start in two months, which seemed to be a major boost.
However, Jurgen Klopp stated at his pre-Everton press conference that Jota will now miss two weeks due to a hip issue.
When asked if there was any news regarding injuries, Klopp replied, “Unfortunately, yes.”
“Diogo felt a little bit after scoring the goal, and we now know it’s a little bit more.”
He will so be absent for two weeks. Other than that, no.
Regarding Jota’s injury, Klopp went into further detail, calling it modest but “not enough to be available”.

It’s hardly much, but the season is getting late now. It’s not a major one—two weeks is hardly anything—but it’s enough to prevent availability. That concludes it.

The Portugal international, who has only made 19 starts so far this season, joins players like Joel Matip, Thiago Alcantara, Conor Bradley, and Ben Doak on the injury list.
