Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, will talk to the media this afternoon to discuss his team’s Premier League matchup versus West Ham. Before Wednesday’s game at Anfield, the Liverpool manager will take questions at the club’s AXA Training Center.
Diogo Jota, who was carried off at the end of Liverpool’s 1-0 victory over Man City, will be updated on Klopp’s remarks regarding his health. The Reds manager will likely also be questioned about the status of the other players on his team’s injury list, like Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Curtis Jones.
Klopp is expected to speak about the acrimonious victory over City as well as his behavior on the bench that resulted in his firing. Join Richard Garnett, Paul Gorst, and Theo Squires for live updates on what the Liverpool manager has to say beginning at 10.30 a.m.
According to manager Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool attacker Diogo Jota will miss the World Cup due to a calf injury. The 25-year-old was taken away on a stretcher in the final moments of his team’s 1-0 Premier League victory over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday. We’re talking about the months when Klopp said Jota would be away for a while. It is rather serious damage to the calf muscle. Sad news for us, Portugal, and the boy, the German remarked.
He is, surprisingly, doing well thus far. He is an exceptionally bright young man. I think he knew it when we carried him off the field. Jota returned on September 3 in a goalless draw with Everton after missing the opening few games of the season with a hamstring injury. He played for Portugal in a 4-0 victory over the Czech Republic later that month, during the international break.
