Liverpool FC will have to do without Diogo Jota (27) for a longer period of time. “Diogo has a knee injury that will keep him out of action for months,” said coach Jürgen Klopp on Tuesday before the Premier League home game against Luton Town (Wednesday, 8:30 p.m.). The recently in-form striker was substituted injured in the 4-1 win against Brentford FC on Saturday and was taken off the pitch on a stretcher.
In addition to Jota, midfielder Curtis Jones (23) and goalkeeper Alisson (31) are also still out for the time being. It is unclear when they will return. “I can’t give a time frame even if I wanted to,” said Klopp. “They all react differently to different complaints.” Ten professionals are missing against Luton.
The home game comes too early for Trent Alexander-Arnold (25) and Dominik Szoboszlai (23). Midfielder Thiago (32) and central defender Joel Matip (32), who suffered a torn cruciate ligament, are also missing. Klopp hopes that at least some players will be fit again before the League Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday (4 p.m.).
