Diogo Jota is facing a race to be fit for the Carabao Cup final after damaging his ankle in Liverpool’s latest Champions League success.
Jota was replaced at half-time against Inter Milan and Roberto Firmino, his replacement at the San Siro, scored the opening goal in a 2-0 win. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said afterwards the Portugal international had taken “a proper knock” and the joint was swollen.
Liverpool stayed in Milan on Wednesday after the game - usually they would fly straight back to Merseyside - due to the difficult weather conditions and Jota went for a scan on Thursday morning before boarding the plane home.
