Liverpool have been dealt a blow ahead of the Merseyside derby against Everton at Goodison Park after forward Diogo Jota was ruled out for at least two weeks.

The Portugal international scored in Sunday's win at Fulham on his first start since February after two months out, having also previously missed six weeks earlier in the season, but injured himself in the process.

"Unfortunately Diogo scored the goal, felt a little bit and now we found out it's a little bit more so he will be out for two weeks," said manager Jurgen Klopp, who revealed Jota had complained of a hip problem in the last couple of weeks.

"It's a small one but we are late in the season, so obviously now it's not a great moment for each injury pretty much.

"When I say two weeks, actually really it's pretty much nothing but enough to not be available."
