Liverpool forward Diogo Jota will be out until after the November international break with a rib injury, manager Arne Slot has confirmed.
The Portugal striker was taken off during Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Chelsea on 20 October after a collision with defender Tosin Adarabioyo.
Jota has missed the past two fixtures and is yet to resume training.
The 27-year-old will miss at least the next four matches in all competitions, with the international break running from 11-19 November.
“Conor [Bradley] is training with us again so maybe he could be in the squad [for Wednesday’s trip to Brighton in the EFL Cup],” Slot said.
“Jota not, Alisson not, Harvey Elliott not and Federico [Chiesa] not.”
Asked whether Jota could return before the international break, Slot replied: “No, it will be after that. Elliott the same.”
