Liverpool No2 Pep Lijnders says they're delighted with the return of Diogo Jota.

Jota was back for defeat to Hertha Berlin on Thursday.

Lijnders wrote for Liverpoolfc.com: "It's great Diogo has joined us because you see immediately the speed he has and, at the same time, so much control over his body and the ball.

"It's frightening. He gives our front line a lot of direction and energy.

"Diogo is not a typical Portuguese winger who receives the ball in his feet and creates dis-organisation with dribbles from outside. Diogo is vertical, a second striker in the box, a pure Liverpool winger.

"He smells the goal, is technically on a high level. Especially with our passing game we need Diogo's movements in behind the last line. He defends on a high level."
