Liverpool striker Diogo Jota is still some weeks away from a playing return.

Jota is expected to return for Liverpool next month, according to The Athletic.

Jota has been absent at Liverpool since early December with a knee injury picked up in the Champions League against FC Midtjylland.

Speaking last week, Jurgen Klopp revealed that the former Wolves man was “still a few weeks away" from team training.

And when asked for an update on Jota after yesterday's draw with Manchester United, the Athletic's James Pearce replied: “Early February he should be back."
