Stretchered off against City Jota was subbed out deep into stoppage time of Sunday's 1-0 victory against Manchester City after suffering an injury. He took a shot on target and created four chances in the matc...
Impact Jota was making just his second Premier League start of the season on Sunday and he was very dangerous going forward from the left wing, but he had to come off on a stretcher late on. After the game manager Jurgen Klopp said "I have no idea how bad it is. If Diogo stays down it is not good." There's only a few days until Liverpool's next match against West Ham in mid-week.

Hat trick of assists Jota assisted thrice to go with zero corners in Wednesday's 7-1 win versus Rangers FC.
Impact Jota came off the bench alongside Mohamed Salah and inside six minutes Salah had a hat trick, and Jota had three assists. It was a stellar performance from the pair, that showed just why they are so valuable to a struggling Liverpool attack. With Roberto Firmino and Darwin Nunez both producing as well it's unclear who will lead the Liverpool line in the immediate future, with a jam-packed schedule likely encouraging rotation.

Assists in defeat Jota assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-2 loss versus Arsenal.
Impact Jota earned his first Premier League assist of the campaign during Sunday's loss. The striker got the start in attacking midfield, though with an injury to Luis Diaz (knee) it's possible Jota will move into a more advanced role if Liverpool stick with a 4-2-3-1. Jota has two assists and no goals in his first three starts since coming back from an injury.

Starts in midfield Jota had two shots (one on goal) and four chances created in Tuesday's 2-0 victory against Rangers FC.
Impact Jota made just his second start of the campaign, slotting into attacking midfield in a new look 4-2-3-1. The forward was creative throughout and alongside a wildly talented Liverpool attack he would have plenty of upside if manager Jurgen Klopp sticks with that formation going forward. With October filled with games in all competitions Jota is set for an uptick in playing time.

Remains without return date Jota (hamstring) remains unavailable and his injury will "take a while unfortunately," according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact Jota hasn't been training with Liverpool and appears to be a major doubt for the opener a little more than a week from now.
