Both forwards missed the side’s 3-1 win over Norwich City in the Premier League at the weekend. They are also out of their match against Leeds United on Wednesday. However, Liverpool are pushing to get Jota fit ahead of their EFL Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday.
Injury expert Ben Dinnery from Premier Injuries believes there is a possibility that Jota will play in the final. Speaking to Football Insider, he said:
He added:
Jota has scored 17 goals and made three assists in 32 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool this season. He will be a big miss against Chelsea if he remains unavailable.
Liverpool will look to close the gap on Manchester City when they face Leeds United
The Reds are currently six points off Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, having played a game less. They next face Leeds United at Anfield on Wednesday. If they win, they could reduce City’s lead to three points with the two clubs scheduled to clash in April.
Leeds are coming into the match on two big defeats at the hands of Everton (3-0) and Manchester United (4-2). On paper, it should be a cakewalk for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
The German manager will hope he is able to rest players like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane ahead of their EFL Cup final on Sunday.
