“Diogo Jota Out Until Late November, Arne Slot Expresses Concern Over Liverpool’s Forward Options”

Diogo Jota is set to be sidelined for Liverpool until late November, according to coach Arne Slot. The manager expressed concerns about his attacking options as the team faces a busy schedule, especially with Federico Chiesa's return date still uncertain. Jota, who has already missed the last two matches, will be unavailable for at least four more games due to a rib injury sustained when Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo fell on him during a match at Anfield nine days ago. This latest injury adds to a series of setbacks for the Portuguese forward, heightening the reliance on Darwin Núñez as Liverpool prepares for upcoming fixtures, including a Carabao Cup clash against Brighton, a Champions League match against Bayer Leverkusen, and a Premier League encounter with Aston Villa.
