Liverpool sweating on Diogo Jota for Carabao Cup final against Chelsea

Liverpool are sweating on Diogo Jota's availability for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea next weekend.

The Portuguese forward was withdrawn due to an ankle injury during the 2-0 win over Inter Milan on Thursday.

Jota was wearing a protective boot as Liverpool returned from Italy on Thursday afternoon.

He underwent initial scans and is now expected to undergo further tests on Merseyside.

The 25-year-old is a major doubt for this weekend's clash against Norwich City and Leeds' visit to Anfield next Wednesday.
