Ahead of Luton game, Jurgen Klopp confirms worst news of year

Important part of the season, bad news at Anfield. The Premier League leaders have lost key players in a week in which, as well as remaining at the top of the league title race, Liverpool will play Chelsea in the League Cup final. Wembley awaits, but first the Reds take on Luton Town on Wednesday. Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones were the latest players to pick up injuries, both of whom went down in last Saturday's defeat to Brentford. At his press conference on Tuesday, Klopp announced that the Portuguese attacker will be out of the squad for the next few months, although he is confident he will be available before the end of the campaign.

The three lads? Not very well, not really. I'd like to say we don't have any problems, but we have a few. Alisson is unavailable with a muscle injury, and we don't know how long it will take for him to recover, but it certainly won't be soon. Then we have Jota's knee injury, he's out. Jones has a bone ligament damage and he won't play either. There are more cases, but we will deal with them day by day.

They are muscular problems, we'll see. Then there are the long-term injuries, like Alexander-Arnold and Szoboszlai, who are in the process of recovery, but they are not training with the team yet, so they are not available either. That's the situation, but as long as we have eleven players on the pitch we will try to win. That's the idea, and we will take it one game at a time.

Absences due to injury

Jota will obviously take months to recover. With Jones... with injuries there are important days. Like the fifth day or the tenth day, that's when you judge the situation again because nobody reacts the same way. It depends on the level of pain they have, so I can't give an estimated time even if I wanted to.
