Diogo Jota is back to boost Liverpool's Champions League hopes ahead of facing Chelsea and Timo Werner... Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp wanted his fellow German but he struck gold with the man from Wolves

Liverpool's injury crisis has centred around those missing in defence but Jurgen Klopp could receive a fitness boost at the other end of the pitch on Thursday night.

After a three-month absence, Diogo Jota is due to be involved in the mammoth clash against Chelsea at Anfield, it will be the Portuguese forward's first game since injuring his knee back in December.

Jota's injury left a bad taste in the mouths of Liverpool fans. He suffered it in a game he shouldn't have been playing in - a dead rubber Champions League clash at Midtjylland and it has been costly.
