The thing is we won’t know how long he’s out for until he starts playing for us again… The club are usually extremely tight-lipped about long layoff injuries, being very vague in their responses when they are asked how the recovery is going.
So for me at this point I’m going in with the expectation that Jota will disappear off the face of the earth for at least half a year and will wait patiently for his return in a red shirt.
Yup I’d be delighted to see him again this season if i’m honest.

Much needed return of Diogo.
If we are going to win the PL we need his ruthlessness back in the team.
I do feel it does.
I’m glad to see him lively, I reckon a game or two on and he puts one of those headers away.

So, in less than four seasons he’s been here, he’s missed a third of PL matches. I absolutely love him as a player, a shithouse and a finisher but that record is abysmal and extremely worrying for the long term. Generally, the injuries have been the bane of this club, even more than referees who are tripping over themselves as to who will be the next to do a number on us.
He’s out for two weeks. Big blow 
Said the other week - he’s our best forward and best finisher…but he’s also the best at picking up long term injuries*
Im not including Thiago in this - he wins hands down!
Do these stats include games where he’s been an unused sub? Do the losses “with Jota” count the games like Spurs when he came on and was subsequently sent off or Palace last week?
12 games this season he’s not been in the squad at all due to suspension/injury. 0 losses.
He can’t get a break, and we can’t.
Yeah, it’s now a little bit worrying…
Out of 4 seasons so far with us, he only had one practically full (55 games in 21/22). All other 3 were disrupted by injuries. 30, 28 and 32 games so far this season.
I wondered how he would return now, with us desperate to get better finishing. Speaks volumes that he got the central spot immediately.
Yeah I’m less worried about stat tables like that and more worried of the time he has missed.
I do wonder if things will change with a new set up, it might not worth giving up on some but I do think Maca will last longer under a different set up as much as I love Klopp.
He has been unlucky with his latest injuries as they have come from collisions where the contact as been wrong or a player fell on him, but that is also because he is a physical type of player who gets stuck in
Amazed Jota didn’t sprain his wrist shaking hands with Murphy.
Shouldn’t he be fit a week ago?
Murphy? It’ll take longer than that.
It’s Shaun Murphy isn’t it?
Shaun Beamish was better.
After scoring against Finland a few days ago, he scored again against Croatia.
14 goals and 10 assists in 38 games for Portugal.
