Klopp's words suggesting the worst about Diogo Jota's injury

Portugal and Liverpool are worried about the extent of the injury to Diogo Jota, who was stretchered off the pitch at Anfield at the end of the match between Jürgen Klopp's side and Pep Guardiola's Manchester City (1-0 to the Reds). The Portuguese winger was replaced by Greek full-back Kostas Tsimikas. Portugal coach Fernando Santos is very anxious, given that the Qatar 2022 World Cup starts on 20 November.

In the Premiership, it was confirmed in the last few hours that N'Golo Kanté (Chelsea/France) and Reece James (Chelsea/England) will miss the World Cup finals through injury. Klopp said of Jota at a news conference: "Diogo was in a lot of pain, but I don't know what the injury is. But if he stayed on the ground, it's because it's not good.

Despite the winning goal against Manchester City, Salah ended up annoyed for this reason

Apparently the Portuguese player landed badly after a jump and suffered a stubbed toe. Jota has been capped 29 times by Portugal, scoring 10 goals for the national team. Mohamed Salah's 76th-minute goal from Alisson Becker's assist saw Liverpool beat City, who until Sunday were the only unbeaten side in this season's Premiership. City are second, four points behind leaders Arsenal, and Liverpool are eighth, with a game in hand, 14 points behind the Gunners and 10 points behind the Citizens.

Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool are eighth in the Premiership but managed to end the run of their biggest rivals in recent years, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, at Anfield on Sunday, meaning there is no longer an unbeaten team in the 2022-23 Premiership (1-0). A great goal from Mohamed Salah gave the Reds a win that Klopp, who was sent off, hopes will serve as a turning point. The Citizens had not lost in the Premier League since February and their new star Erling Haaland was left without a goal.

'Not good', Klopp's words

Liverpool's win over City moved Mikel Arteta's Arsenal four points clear of Pep Guardiola's side (second) and Antonio Conte's Tottenham (third). The Reds, with a game in hand, are 14 points behind the Gunners. And Klopp now has 12 wins over Guardiola, with Pep's nine over the German. Despite the power of City's attacking play and their new star, Haaland, Liverpool were a model of solidity in all lines, starting with a defence in which Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk were two titans and James Milner played at right-back.
