Four shots on return Jota registered four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.
Impact Jota returned to the starting XI after a long-term injury and lead the line with the absence of Darwin Nunez (shoulder). Jota wasn't overly impressive in the starting XI and ended the match with only a single shot on goal in the draw. Still Jota has shown impressive form when fully fit, and it's possible he's not quite back to full capacity since his injury.

Comes off bench in Merseyside win Jota played the final 20 minutes or so of Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton.
Impact Jota made his first appearance since mid-October on Monday after recovering from a calf injury. He's been limited to just two Premier League starts this season due to this recent injury as well as a hamstring issue that had sidelined him at the beginning of the campaign, but it will be interesting to see how Jota fits into Liverpool's new-look attack alongside new arrivals Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, as well as the revitalized Roberto Firmino once he's back at full fitness.

Available off bench Jota (calf) was named to the match-day squad versus Everton on Monday.
Impact Jota returns following a 13-match stint on the shelf due to his calf problem. Even prior to getting hurt, the attacking midfielder struggled to make regular appearances, featuring in just four of his eight contests this season. When he does play, Jota has registered five assists, nine shots (four on target) and four crosses (two accurate), though three of those assists came in a one-side clash with Rangers FC.

Impact Jota has only been training fully this week, so even if available, he'll likely only get a few minutes off the bench Monday. His return comes just ahead of Champions League and once fully fit, he figures to take up a starting spot for Cody Gakpo, though it could be an every-other-match kind of thing given Jota's injury problems since joining Liverpool.

Expected to train fully next week Jota (calf) is expected to be in full training next week, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "Diogo Jota had a full session with the team this week but then the next day had again...
Impact Jota is getting closer to a return and it seems inevitable that'll be available before the month is over. His return would be a nice boost, as Cody Gakpo probably shouldn't have been thrown into the starting XI immediately. Though once Jota is ready, he may be brought back slowly given his injury history.

Impact It sounds like the goal for Jota will be to return before Champions League gets underway again. That would put his return closer to late February, which is about a month away. He's on the pitch working, so there's a slight chance to see him in the squad before that Feb. 21 contest.

Impact Jota suffered a serious calf injury in mid-October that quickly ruled him out of the World Cup and now there's a clearer picture on when he might return. As Luis Diaz (knee) could return by the end of December, all is not lost until Jota is back.
