In the midst of a sporting crisis, Jürgen Klopp spoke to the media on Friday ahead of Saturday's game against Wolverhampton on Matchday 22 of the Premier League. The German tactician took the opportunity to give some updates on the players who are in the medical department.
In general, Klopp said everything "looks better" because his players "are training". On the condition of Portugal's Diogo Jota, who missed the Qatar 2022 World Cup through injury, "he had a full session with the team this week" and continues with "rehabilitation session", so "he will return to normal training next week".

As for Brazilian Roberto Firmino, his return "is getting closer" and recovery is going "very well". He also gave information about Luis Díaz, who "is running now". He was honest in saying that his return to the field "will take a few weeks yet", but it is positive that he is "running on the pitch, which is really good". Prior to the injury, the 26-year-old Guajiro had played a total of 614 minutes in eight Premier League games this 2022/23 season, seven of them starts, and scored three goals.
At a press conference, Klopp referred to Rashford's under-performance at Manchester United: "We all see that some players here have not reached the level that they have reached consistently in the last six or seven years. These are things that happen. Look at Marcus Rashford, it's not like he didn't want to perform last season. Now he's flying. They're human beings.
