Darwin Nunez was ill midweek as Liverpool played PSV in the Champions League while Curtis Jones limped off the week before against Lille. Arne Slot has the latest.
Diogo Jota is one of three players back ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Bournemouth on Saturday, though Arne Slot was unsure if they would be ready to travel. Jota has been sidelined since his goalscoring cameo against Nottingham Forest in mid-January, picking up a muscle injury during that 1-1 draw.
Darwin Nunez was added to the ‘missing’ list on Wednesday having been struck down with illness before facing PSV. With Gomez returning to training earlier in the week, Slot was asked whether the defender is ready to face Bournemouth on Saturday and also if Jota and Nunez will be available for selection.
Arne Slot says that Diogo Jota will be out for “weeks rather than months” after the Liverpool attacker suffered another agonising injury setback. The Portugal international missed Saturday’s dramatic win at Brentford after complaining of discomfort in a muscle following the midweek draw with Nottingham Forest.

Diogo Jota is facing “weeks” out after suffering a fresh injury setback, Arne Slot has confirmed. The Liverpool forward scored off the bench to earn Liverpool a point against Nottingham Forest last week, but he picked up an injury in that cameo and missed Saturday’s win over Brentford.
Diogo Jota, when fit, is an important player for Liverpool who often comes up with big goals. The Portuguese star can be prone to injuries, however, causing Arne Slot to prefer other options to start up front in his side.
