Liverpool midfielder Diogo Hota will miss the World Cup in Qatar after picking up an injury during Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday.

The information was confirmed by Jurgen Klopp, the technician of the Premier League team.

Portugal without Diogo Jota in Qatar

With 8 appearances and 5 assists to his name this competitive season, Jota is in serious trouble after the Manchester City game.

The calf muscle injury is the most serious and, according to Goal.com, the Lusitanian will miss the World Cup in Qatar.

At the age of 25, Jota has made 28 appearances and scored 10 goals for the Portugal national football team, but unfortunately, he is likely to miss one of his chances to shine in his career.

In addition, his injury will also cause a lot of problems for Klopp, who already has a long list of injured players (Arthur Melo, Luis Diaz, Naby Keita, Joel Matip, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ibrahim Konate).
