On bench against Porto Jota (knock) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Porto.

Impact This is a great sign for Jota, who had to leave early over the weekend with a knock. If this match meant something, he may have been in the XI, but instead he'll be an option off the bench and should be ready to start against Southampton on Saturday.

Scores, leaves with knock Jota scored from two shots but was forced off in the 76th minute of Saturday's 4-0 win against Arsenal with a knee knock.

Impact This probably isn't a major issue for Jota, but on a short week, there's a chance he doesn't start Wednesday's game against Porto. With Roberto Firmino still out, that could mean a new face in the starting XI, possibly someone like Divock Origi or Takumi Minamino.

Quiet against West Ham Jota took two shots (none on target), crated two scoring chances and drew three fouls during Sunday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.

Impact Jota lasted 76 minutes before being replaced by Divock Origi as Liverpool searched for a late equalizer. It wasn't Jota's best showing and he'll look to bounce back against Arsenal on Nov. 20.

Scores in win Jota scored once on three shots (two on goal) during Wednesday's 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid,

Impact Jota opened his Champions League account with a simple finish from a brilliant Trent Alexander-Arnold cross. With Roberto Firmino sidelined with a hamstring injury Jota figures to lead the attack, giving him strong fantasy value.

Subs on against Brighton Jota created one scoring chance during a 12-minute substitute appearance in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Brighton.

Impact Jota had scored a goal and assisted in the previous match against Manchester United but was dropped to the bench against Brighton.

Left on bench during win Jota was an unused substitute for Saturday's 5-0 win over Watford.

Impact Jota was an injury doubt coming into the match but ended up making the bench. He should benefit from the extra rest and will likely be involved in Tuesday's trip to Atletico Madrid.

Expected to be option Saturday Jota (muscle) is expected to train with the team and be available for Saturday's trip to Watford, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact This is a positive update on Jota and it appears he may not have to miss time after all. He missed about a week of training over the break for the national team, but there's a chance he could start Saturday. If not, Roberto Firmino would likely move back into the XI.

Withdrawn from national team Jota is back at Liverpool after dealing with a muscle injury the last week with the Portugal national team.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Jota, who hasn't trained fully since joining the national team a week ago. Jota went 68 minutes in the last league match and it looks like he's in danger of missing Saturday's trip to Watford. It doesn't seem like something that will keep him out a long period, but for any match he'll miss, Roberto Firmino will likely step into the XI.

Still battling muscle issue Jota still isn't training with the Portugal national team and may return to Liverpool early, reports The Echo.

Impact It was thought that Jota would be training by now after the reports came out last week, but now it appears he may not play for Portugal in this window. This doesn't seem major, but if he's missing a full week of training, there's a chance he misses time once he returns to Liverpool.

Battling apparent muscle issue Jota has yet to train with the Portugal national team because of muscular issues, reports SAPO.

Impact There isn't a ton of information on Jota's issue, but he's still with the team so there's a chance he returns in the next few days. If he remains out, Liverpool will surely have an update on the striker. He's started all but one match this season, though he only went 68 minutes in the recent draw against Man City.

Starts during win over Porto Jota took four shots (two on target), put in one cross and made one clearance during Tuesday's 5-1 win over FC Porto.

Impact Jota had a number of opportunities to raise his season goal total to four but couldn't convert in front of net. He's scored just one goal in his past six appearances, potentially giving manager Jurgen Klopp a selection headache ahead of Sunday's match against Manchester City, especially after Roberto Firmino scored twice off the bench in Tuesday's win over FC Porto.

Nets third goal of season Jota scored a goal, took two shots (two on goal) and created two scoring chances during Saturday's 3-3 draw against Brentford.

Impact Jota opened the scoring for Liverpool with a nice finish in the 31st minute. This was his third goal of the season and he arguably should have had added more to his tally after he missed a couple golden opportunities on either side of halftime. Roberto Firmino came on in the second half and could affect the amount of playing time Jota receives as both players tend to be the next best attacking options after Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Jota's next chance to play will come Tuesday against FC Porto before Liverpool host Manchester City next Sunday.

Takes four shots during win Jota took four shots (none on target), created one scoring chance and made three tackles (won one) during Saturday's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Jota has taken a high volume of shots, but hasn't scored in four matches as Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have taken on much of the scoring burden. With Roberto Firmino (hamstring) working through an injury, Jota should continue to see playing time heading into Saturday's trip to Brentford.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots during win Jota took three shots (one on target), created two scoring chances and made four tackles (won two) during Wednesday's 3-2 win over AC Milan.

Impact Jota contributed in multiple facets and the only thing that was missing from his outing was a goal or assist. With Roberto Firmino out injured and Divock Origi picking up a knock as well, Jota should come back into the starting XI against Crystal Palace on Saturday, though this will be his third match in seven days.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots during win Jota took three shots (one on goal), created six scoring chances and drew two fouls during Sunday's 3-0 win over Leeds United.

Impact Jota paced Liverpool in chances created and arguably should have had a couple assists had his teammates been more lethal in front of net. With Liverpool playing three matches in six days, it's possible Jota is rested Wednesday against AC Milan or at home against Crystal Palace next Saturday.

Impact Jota has scored in both matches this season as Liverpool have accumulated five goals while failing to concede. Jota, specifically, has been in great form and appears to have a lock on a starting role over Roberto Firmino. Liverpool will have an early test to their title challenge when they face Chelsea next Saturday at home.
