Liverpool, Klopp suffer injury blow ahead of Carabao Cup final
<h4><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Jurgen Klopp, manager of Liverpool, has announced that Diogo Jota suffered an ankle injury in their 2-0 win over Inter Milan.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">During the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 match, Jota was substituted by Roberto Firmino.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Firmino and Mohamed Salah scored for the Reds, giving them a comfortable advantage heading into the second leg at Anfield.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Klopp, on the other hand, will be concerned about Jota&#8217;s fitness ahead of the Carabao Cup final next weekend against the world champion, Chelsea.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“I’m really happy with everything apart from obviously Diogo had to go off with something around the ankle ligament.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“We will see. We don’t know exactly. He could play on, which is maybe a good sign. Half-time the ankle was swollen already, so we had to change,” Klopp told BT Sport.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Jota is the second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League following his teammate, Salah.</span></p>
