Liverpool could be without its starting striker against RB Leipzig after Diogo Jota picked up an injury at the weekend.
Liverpool's 2–1 victory over Chelsea was marred when Jota was substituted in the 30th minute due to injury. The Portugal international, who looked to be in severe discomfort as he walked off the pitch, was replaced with Darwin Núñez.
After the match, Arne Slot confirmed the status of his striker ahead of the Reds' Champions League clash with RB Leipzig on Oct. 23. "Diogo had to be substituted and I am not sure what it is, but I’d be surprised if he is there on Wednesday," the manager said.
Jota has featured in 10 of Liverpool's 11 matches across all competitions this season and started seven of the Reds' eight Premier League fixtures. The 27-year-old added four goals to his tally over the last three months, including the winner against Crystal Palace.
