Latest Liverpool news after Diogo Jota picked up an injury during Sunday's 2-1 Premier League win over Chelsea

However, during the opening 45 minutes, Jota was forced off after he was brought down by Tosin Adarabioyo on the halfway line. The forward initially was replaced by Darwin Nunez, and speaking after the game, Reds boss Arne Slot admitted he was still awaiting more information on the injury but anticipated the Portugal international would be ruled out of his side's Champions League tie against RB Leipzig on Wednesday night.

He said: "Diogo had to be substituted and I am not sure what it is, but I'd be surprised if he is there on Wednesday."

"Most rib injuries tend to be a pain management issue, which resolves within 1-2 weeks. However, scans are necessary to check for any rib fractures.

"Rib injuries are among the most painful to manage, which could be one reason why he couldn't play on. Recovery Time: If rib contusion: 1-2 weeks If rib fracture present: 4-6 weeks."
