Diogo Jota - Page 7 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Training with team Jota (upper body) is in team training ahead of Saturday's clash with Fulham.

Impact Jota has been recovering from a serious upper body issue across the last month, and is now back in team training. It's unclear if a week of training will be enough for Jota to return in the Premier League. While Jota has been sidelined it has been Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo sharing the duties as the top striker.

Close to return Jota (upper body) is close to a return, according to manager Arne Slot. "With Diogo being close to being back, Federico being close to being back, and the same for Alisson."

Impact Jota is approaching a return, and could be less than a week away from a full return. The striker will be the top choice when he's fully fit, especially due to the recent struggles of backup option Darwin Nunez. Jota scored and assisted twice in seven matches before suffering the upper body injury.

Out to face Magpies Jota (upper body) is out for Wednesday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Arne Slot. "Diogo is not there yet."

Impact Jote is still battling his upper body issues, with the forward missing his eighth straight match Wednesday. There has still been no recent update on his status, leaving a return date up in the air. He will look for it to come in the next few weeks, as he was a regular starter when fit, noticing four goal contributions in nine appearances.

Impact Jota remains on the sideline, and has yet to get back in team training. That means the striker is likely going to miss a mid-week Real Madrid clash and a showdown with Manchester City in the Premier League. Darwin Nunez is the top central striker that's fit right now, though Luis Diaz has played through the middle with Cody Gakpo on the wing in the past.

Impact Jota has been sidelined for multiple weeks with the upper body injury, and it appears he will be back a week or two after the break. Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz have gotten the starts leading the attack with Jota injured in recent weeks.

Impact Jota will need quite a bit more time before he is ready to take the field again, as the forward is expected to be out until after the November international break, leaving him out around another three weeks. The club will hope for no setbacks and to have him as an option to face Southampton on Nov. 24, as he is a regular starter when fit, starting in eight of his nine appearances before the injury.

Immediately ruled out Jota (upper body) is out for Sunday's trip to Arsenal, per manager Arne Slot. "Federico might train with us today or tomorrow - but Diogo definitely not. And Conor Bradley, let's s...

Impact Jota was ruled out immediately for Sunday's trip to Arsenal, in a somewhat surprising turn, as he was originally reported to have suffered upper body bruising. It seems to be serious bruising if he's entirely out of training and ruled out for Sunday. Darwin Nunez will lead the Liverpool line during a potential title six-pointer against Arsenal on Sunday.

Officially ruled out Jota (knock) is out for Wednesday's trip to Leipzig, according to manager Arne Slot."It's difficult to judge at this moment of time to see how long that's going to take."

Impact Jota suffered the bruise after a defender fell on him during Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea. The striker will now be sidelined for Wednesday's Champions League clash, and is doubt for a Sunday trip to Arsenal. Darwin Nunez projects as the starter in Jota's place. Nunez offers less of a direct goalscoring threat, but tends to link up better with Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah on the wings.

Doubtful for Wednesday Jota is doubtful for Wednesday's match against Leipzig following his early exit from Sunday's 2-1 win over Chelsea, according to manager Anre Slot. "Diogo had to be substituted an...

Impact Jota could be heading to the sidelines, with the forward having picked up an undisclosed issue following a hard tackle in Sunday's win. This leaves him in heavy doubt to feature in the mid-week UCL match, which could be a significant loss after starting in all but two games to begin the season. That said, most signs point to the forward being left out, as even if he is an option, it will probably be off the bench, with Darwin Nunez as his likely replacement.

Returns to bench Jota (knock) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Bologna.

Impact Jota is back on the bench for Wednesday's clash after overcoming a knock. It seems he's not back to full fitness, as Darwin Nunez got the nod in the starting XI for the Champions League clash.

Impact Jota had a slight scare following the club's match Saturday but appears to have shaken off any concerns, as he is expected to feature now. This is great news for the club, with the attacker only having missed the start in one match this campaign. That said, they will hope to see the start, although they may leave him on the bench to begin to be cautious.

Impact Jota swung in the corner late in the first half Saturday that resulted in Liverpool taking a 1 - 0 lead en route to their 2 - 1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers. The attacker was left out of Liverpool's previous Premier League title versus Bournemouth before returning to the starting XI Saturday and providing his second assist of the season. Jota was also credited with a single clearance, contributing to the Liverpool defensive effort.

Three shots Saturday Jota had three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Jota shot three times but only one of them was on net during a tough loss at Anfield. The striker was brought off early in the second half as well after struggling to get anything going. Still Jota seems to be the preferred option in Arne Slot's attack, despite the poor showing. With the Champions League coming up there's a good chance Jota will be rotated more going forward.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in win Jota assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 victory against Brentford.

Impact Jota put his name back on the score sheet with an assist to Luis Diaz on the break. One of the biggest concerns for Jota has been his generally subpar link-up play. In the early stages of the 2024/25 campaign he's looked far improved in that, giving him a new facet to his game with some playmaking. If he can keep this form going Jota should have no issues holding on to the top job.

Nets Saturday Jota scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one cross (one accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 win against Ipswich Town.

Impact Jota opened the scoring during Saturday's win, as well as making the start. If Jota remains the starting striker moving forward that would be a nice role in the coming weeks. Still Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez will likely provide competition or rotation for Jota, limiting him from taking all minutes.

Finishes on bench Jota scored 10 goals and added three assists during 21 appearances (14 starts.)

Impact Jota's role was limited by injury and form but he still reached double-digit goals for the second time in his career. With Liverpool set for a new manager in Arne Slot it's likely there will be a full battle for the starting striker role, leaving Jota's role for the future uncertain.

Back on bench Jota (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Wolves.

Impact Jota returns to the bench for the Premier League finale. The striker was plagued by injuries throughout the second half of the season and is only fit enough for the bench. With Darwin Nunez out of form it's Cody Gakpo that leads the line for the finale.
