Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has opened up about his recent rib injury that will keep him sidelined until after the November international break. Following confirmation from manager Arne Slot, Jota took to social media to share his feelings with fans, expressing both frustration and optimism.
In his message, Jota wrote, “I know it’s difficult to be away from the pitch, especially when the team is fighting in every game. But I’m doing everything I can to return stronger. Your support means a lot during times like these, and I can’t wait to be back and give my all for you.”
Jota sustained the rib injury during Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea on October 20 after a collision with Tosin Adarabioyo. The injury has since ruled him out of Liverpool’s last two matches, and he’s expected to miss at least four more games, including fixtures against Brighton, Bayer Leverkusen, and Aston Villa.
With Liverpool aiming for a strong season across all competitions, Jota’s absence will be felt, but fans can look forward to his anticipated return against Southampton on November 24. In the meantime, Jota is focused on his recovery, dedicating himself to returning to the squad as soon as possible.
