Diogo Jota is set to be assessed ahead of Liverpool’s upcoming Champions League clash against Bologna at Anfield. The forward picked up a foot injury during Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, leading to his absence from training as a precaution.
Jota, a key figure in Liverpool’s attack, missed Tuesday’s training session after suffering a blow to his foot. The 27-year-old will continue to be evaluated to determine if he can participate in Wednesday’s match against the Serie A side. With Liverpool aiming to build on their 3-1 win over AC Milan, Jota’s availability could prove crucial.
Despite concerns over injuries, Liverpool were given a boost as Darwin Nunez and Andy Robertson returned to training. Nunez, who missed the Wolves clash due to illness, is back in contention. Robertson, who limped off after a late challenge last weekend, is now fully fit and ready for action.
The upcoming match marks Bologna as Liverpool’s 137th different European opponent. If Liverpool secure victory, manager Arne Slot will become the first in club history to win eight of his first nine matches in charge.
