Diogo Jota posts 12-word message after devastating Liverpool injury blow

Diogo Jota has vowed to return to full fitness as soon as possible as he eyes a role in Liverpool's Premier League title run-in despite suffering a serious knee injury against Brentford on Saturday.

The Portugal international was substituted in the first half of the Reds' 4-1 win at the Gtech Community Stadium after Bees midfielder Christian Norgaard landed awkwardly on his leg. After departing the field on a stretcher, Jota later boarded the Liverpool team bus supported by crutches and with his left knee in a brace.

On Tuesday, Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Jota is set for a period of "months" on the sidelines rather than weeks and, as a result, will miss Sunday's League Cup final against Chelsea. He will also miss next month's Premier League heavyweight clash with Manchester City at Anfield.

Earlier this week, the 27-year-old was named the Premier League Player of the Month for January after scoring three goals and laying on two assists against Bournemouth and Chelsea as Liverpool sealed back-to-back league victories to maintain their lead over Arsenal and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
