Liverpool boss Klopp delivers Jota recovery update

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Diogo Jota is returning to training next week.

The Reds have received several boosts along the injury front in recent days.

Roberto Firmino, Virgil van Dijk, and Luis Diaz are also closing in on returns to full fitness.

“Generally it's looking better. The boys are training," Klopp told reporters during a news conference.

Diogo Jota had a full session with the team this week but not the next day. He had a rehab session, not because of the session before. It's part of the plan.

“I think he will pretty much be back in full training next week. Bobby's getting closer obviously, very good. Luis is running now. That will take a few weeks still but he's now out on the pitch running which is really good.

“Virgil is getting closer but not ready for the game obviously. Parts of training next week for Virgil. Nothing else so far, but there are still two hours until training!"
