Liverpool boss, Arne Slot, has said he doubts the availability of Reds’ striker, Diogo Jota for his team’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) game on Wednesday.

The victory, however, came at a cost as Jota was substituted on the half hour mark after limping off due to an injury.

Slot while giving an update on Diogo Jota’s injury, said the 27-year-old is a doubt for this week’s Champions League clash away to Bundesliga club, RB Leipzig.

He said: “Diogo had to be substituted and I am not sure what it is, but I’d be surprised if he is there on Wednesday.”
