Diogo Jota is a fresh fitness doubt for Liverpool’s trip to Brentford in what would be a blow for the Portuguese forward after his substitute goal against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
The striker, 28, missed just shy of two months with a chest injury recently and has featured off the bench in the Reds’ last six league fixtures but his only start came against Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup.
And Jota, who scored with his first touch as a substitute at Forest in the 1-1 draw, has now suffered another setback with Arne Slot admitting it will be a ‘struggle’ for him to feature on the tricky trip to west London on Saturday.
