Some Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to manager Jurgen Klopp saying that Diogo Jota is fit to play against Newcastle United.
Liverpool will take on Newcastle at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Portugal international forward Jota was not pictured in training with the rest of the Liverpool players on Thursday.
Klopp has said that there is nothing to worry about for Liverpool fans, and that the former Wolverhampton Wanderers star is fit and available.
The Liverpool Echo quotes Klopp as saying about Jota today during the pre-match press conference at the club’s AXA Training Centre: “Diogo is fine.”
Some Liverpool fans have given their reaction to Klopp’s remarks on Jota on Twitter, and below are some of the best comments:
Liverpool have had injury problems throughout the season, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip long-term concerns and Thiago missing a chunk of the campaign.
Jota also had a long spell on the sidelines, but the 24-year-old is now fit and available and is playing well for the Reds.
Liverpool simply cannot afford any more injuries if they are to finish in the Premier League top four, and Jota being fine for the match against Newcastle is brilliant news for the team.
According to WhoScored, the 24-year-old Portugal international forward has scored eight goals in nine Premier League starts this season.
