Klopp smiles in Liverpool: Luis Díaz will have more pressure after the expected return of Jota

There is news in Liverpool To face the final stretch of the season, good news arrived from the medical department that makes the coach happy Jurgen Klopp and they put pressure on the Colombian Luis Diaz.

The Portuguese Diogo Jota He recovered from his injury after two long months of absence and has already returned to team training at the Axa sports center, after receiving the approval from the club's doctors.

Jot suffered an injury to his right knee on February 17 in Liverpool's 4-1 victory against Brentford and after several weeks of arduous rehabilitation, he makes himself available to the German coach to fight for a place in the starting eleven with the Colombian Luis Diaz.

The Portuguese did several jobs with the team this week and is recovering his physical fitness. “Diogo and Trent are in a group together, which helps both of them… Hopefully they will be in parts of the team training and then we will see the rest,” Klopp said.

Although the coach dropped that Diogo Jota might not be called up for this Thursday's match against Atalanta for the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals to take care of him and not overload him. “We'll have to see that (if they can show up).”

“Jota was there for 10 weeks or something like that? It was really long. Jota, Ali, Trent, they usually think that the first day they can step on the training field, we have to bring them back and play with them again. “We've probably had these situations over the last few years and it's never really healthy,” he noted.

Luis Diaz, who is having a great season with Liverpool, scoring 13 goals in all competitions, would start again against the Italians, but he must do his best to not lose his position in this final stretch of the season.

“They need time to regain their rhythm. They are very happy that we are still in the situation we are in. That means they trained a lot alone, especially Diogo and Trent. To be honest, they looked pretty good yesterday. We have to see. Now they have returned to training and we have to see how we involve them, how we use them“said Jürgen.

And he added: “We need them, tha
t's clear, but we need them in the best possible way. And we want to give them a kind of rhythm. It is always a challenge to reintegrate the boys. With the quality they have, it should be a little easier. We will use them in the coming days and weeks. Which means I haven't made a decision yet (on whether they will be with Atalanta).
