Jurgen Klopp has ruled out Diogo Yota for Liverpool's next game against West Ham after picking up an injury in the 1-0 win against Manchester City.
Jota played tenaciously for Liverpool and went deep on the counter-attack to beat City at Anfield and had a goal-scoring opportunity but was delayed by injury. Liverpool 1-0 Man City: Player Ratings - Premier League
Minutes after the yellow card was shown as Liverpool saw the results, the Portuguese forward appeared overextended and immediately grabbed his leg and fell to the ground before being taken off and replaced by Kostas Tsimikas.
In an interview with Sky Sports after the game, Klopp admitted that he will not be able to play in Liverpool's midweek game. "We have the next meeting with Diogo. I was in a lot of pain at the time, but I don't know how bad it was."
"It's not good for Diogo to stay," he added, worried about the way Jota finished the game.
Liverpool return to action on Wednesday night when they host West Ham at Anfield. But now that Jota is injured, Klopp will have to watch the game from afar. The German was sent off for protesting against City, admitting Bernardo Silva was "finished" after challenging Mohamed Salah.
