Cool heads and fresh legs will hopefully help Liverpool win at Everton on Wednesday, but they will have to do it without Diogo Jota who picked up an injury at Fulham, manager Jurgen Klopp said.
Liverpool left key players out of their starting line-up for Sunday’s 3-1 win at Fulham, including Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate, Dominik Szoboszlai, Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister before the Merseyside derby.
“We had to do it,” Klopp told reporters on Tuesday. “We’ll see what we can do now for this game … hopefully we will have a lot of fresh legs on the pitch.”
Sunday’s win was Liverpool’s first in three Premier League games as they sit second in the table with 74 points from 33 matches, equal with leaders Arsenal and one ahead of defending champions Manchester City who have a game in hand.
Jota scored Liverpool’s third goal at Fulham but will now be out for two weeks with an injury, Klopp said.
