Liverpool’s injury concerns have escalated as Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones have been ruled out of the upcoming Carabao Cup final this weekend, according to The Telegraph.
Both players had to leave the field early in Liverpool’s 4-1 victory against Brentford last weekend due to knee and ankle injuries, respectively.
Scans conducted in the last 24 hours have confirmed their unavailability for the upcoming matches, forcing them to miss the highly anticipated Wembley clash against Chelsea.
This adds to Liverpool’s growing injury crisis and presents a significant challenge for the team as they navigate crucial fixtures without key players.
Liverpool are currently awaiting further tests to precisely determine the extent of the rehabilitation period for Jota and Jones.
Initial concerns were raised about Jota possibly suffering a severe knee injury. However, according to Portuguese newspaper Record, the 27-year-old could be out for around ‘two months’ after suffering.
The pending tests will provide a clearer understanding of the timeframe for their recovery, allowing the club to plan accordingly for their absence in upcoming fixtures.
Liverpool’s injury woes continue to mount with setbacks following recent losses of Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee) and goalkeeper Alisson (muscle injury in training).
While Alisson was not slated to play against Chelsea on Sunday, there’s now uncertainty about his availability before the international break, including the pivotal clash against Manchester City on March 10.
Liverpool are eagerly awaiting updates on the fitness of midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, who is grappling with a hamstring issue.
The concerns further extend to Darwin Núñez, who, after complaining of muscle pain, was substituted as a precaution during Saturday’s game, adding another layer to Liverpool’s growing injury challenges.
The club awaits more information and positive bulletins on the fitness status of these key players as they navigate through a crucial phase of the season.
