The 24-year-old has been missing for over two months after suffering a knee injury in a dead-rubber Champions League clash with FC Midtjylland in December.
Whether Jürgen Klopp should’ve even used him in that game is questionable, but we won’t get on to that right now.
Let’s focus on the positives. A key member of Liverpool’s team is closing in on his return, ahead of some winnable games.
Liverpool face Sheffield United, Fulham, and Wolves over the next few weeks, while clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal are also on the schedule.
Before his injury, Jota was arguably Liverpool’s Player of the Season.
