Diogo Jota - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Nets goal against Burnley Jota scored one goal on one shot and notched a tackle in Tuesday's 2-0 win against Burnley.

Impact Jpta returned to play Tuesday, registering a mere six minutes off of the bench but still making a lasting impact on the match by scoring a goal in the 90th minute. The attacker had missed the club's past seven contests with a hamstring injury, picking the problem up on Nov. 25 against Manchester City. Now that he is back healthy, Jota should start to earn appearances in the starting XI, as he started in six of the club's seven matches leading up to his issue but will have to fend off Luiz Diaz as he captured the starting spot while Jota was out.

Working way back Jota (hamstring) continues work with the ball on the pitch, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders. "Diogo is doing ball work on the pitch so that is getting closer and clo...

Impact Jota doesn't seem likely to return before the New Year unless he's further along than Lijnders suggests. He's been outside working with the ball for a couple weeks now and will likely need a full week of training before being considered for the bench. He's been out almost a month and Liverpool are usually one of the better teams in terms of not forcing players back to the pitch following injury.

Impact Jota began running outside this week during training but will still have to wait for a return as he is not yet fit to compete. The forward looks to be making decent progress with his rehabilitation and will hopefully return before the end of the year. When he does return, he will most likely return to the bench as he tries to work his way back into the starting XI after an injury.

Injury more serious than expected Jota (strain) is set for some time in the sidelines with a muscle injury, per manager Jurgen Klopp, "Diogo will take a little bit longer, we don't know exactly how long, but it's a...

Impact Jota's strain turned out to be more serious than expected as he is doubtful to return before the end of the 2023 year. He has been on fine form of late, totaling six goals in the last 10 matches, logging in 21 shots (10 on target) in that span. With Luis Diaz in good form, he is expected to get the start at left wing for the team for the time being.

Impact The recovery process and return date are uncertain, but Jota should be set to miss at least a few games while on the sidelines. Jota's absence shouldn't affect Liverpool outside of shortening the depth of the team on the attack, as he's clearly behind Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez in the manager's pecking order.

Forced off in second half Jota was forced off in the second half of Saturday's match against Manchester City with an injury.

Impact Jota left the match in the 54th minute after succumbing to the injury and being replaced. Manager Jurgen Klopp announced after the match that Jota "felt something they have to assess" to determine the severity of the injury.

Poaching continues Jota scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win versus Brentford.

Impact Jota puts together poor performances that he then salvages with goals, seemingly week-in, week-out. At this point we can pencil in a jammy Jota goal as he continues to be one of the best poachers in the Premier League. Luis Diaz's parents have been recovered so Jota's run in the starting XI could be ending, though there will be rotation throughout the Liverpool attack.

Nets again Jota scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

Impact Jota opened the scoring during Sunday's clash, starting at left wing once more with Luis Diaz (personal) absent. Jota is a more than competent left wing and his ability to shift to the wing allows him to share the starting XI with Darwin Nunez. There's no timeline for Diaz's return, meaning Jota could be in line for some consistent minutes on the left side of a dangerous front three.

Set for return Jota is eligible for selection after serving a one-match ban.

Impact Jota served a one-match ban for a pair of yellow cards against Tottenham. The striker was forced to sit out against Brighton but should be an option once more to provide an alternate option to Darwin Nunez or Luis Diaz.

Gets sent off Jota was sent off Saturday against Tottenham after receiving two yellow cards.

Impact Jota entered the game in the second half to replace Cody Gakpo (hamstring) but was sent off after picking up two yellow cards in less than a minute. The forward will be eligible to face Union SG in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, but when it comes to Premier League matches, his earliest chance to be eligible will come after the international break against Everton on Oct. 21.

Scores off bench Jota scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 victory against West Ham United.

Impact Jota came off the bench for the final nine minutes Sunday and earned his second Premier League goal. The striker has fallen down the pecking order with Darwin Nunez seemingly taking an early hold as the top choice striker. Still Jota is effective off the bench and has shown the ability to provide value even in extremely limited minutes.

Falls to bench Jota was on the bench for the final two matches before the international break.

Impact Jota started the opening two matches in the Premier League but showed some largely poor link up play. He has since fallen to the bench with the in-form Darwin Nunez in the starting XI. Liverpool have a plethora of attacking options and all are strong contributors when given starting minutes week-to-week.

Strikes in victory Jota fired five shots, scoring from one of the two strikes he placed on-target. He also created two chances in Saturday's 3-1 win against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Jota put in an outstanding performance on Saturday. The Portuguese striker was sharp and dangerous. He was subbed after 76 when it was clear the game victory was secured. His goal is on the back of scoring four and providing two assists in Liverpool's five pre-season friendlies. With the form he is in, and the service he is receiving from a world-class set of midfield playmakers, it looks like he will be a regular scorer this season.

Brace in finale Jota scored two goals to go with four shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 4-4 draw versus Southampton.

Impact Jota netted a pair of goals during Sunday's draw, ending the season in the starting XI. Jota struggled with injuries during the first half of the season, though he salvaged it with some good form ending on seven goals and four assists. Jota will face competition for minutes moving forward from Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo, though there could be more chances with Roberto Firmino departing.
