The fears of the inhabitants of Liverpool about the injury of Diogo Zota were confirmed. The Portuguese striker scored in the derby against Manchester City in the eleventh round of the Premier League.
The tests he underwent showed that he had suffered a calf injury. Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that the player will miss the World Cup, which starts in about a month.
“The first diagnosis was clear and this is very sad news for us. We have to look at the well-being of the players, we always do it,” said the German coach. The Liverpool manager added that Zota would walk through the operating room door.
Diogo Zota has scored 10 goals in 29 caps for Portugal. The team of Fernando Santos got into the eighth group of the competition and will play with Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea.
“After such a beautiful night at Anfield, mine ended in the worst possible way! One of my biggest dreams came crashing down at the last minute,” Zota tweeted. “I will fight to return as soon as possible,” concluded the Portuguese.
