Liverpool forward Diogo Jota out until after November international break

Liverpool expect to be without forward Diogo Jota until after next month’s international break.

The Portuguese star had been in good form with four goals this season, but he was forced off with an injury during the victory over Chelsea earlier this month and boss Arne Slot revealed the bad news ahead of the Reds’ Carabao Cup clash with Brighton on Wednesday.

As well as cup and league matches against Brighton, Jota is also set to miss the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund and the Premier League visit of Aston Villa.
