The former Wolves man has missed 27 games so far during the 2022/23 campaign with a hamstring injury and most recently, he suffered a setback with a calf issue.
Jota is one of 14 first-team players who have missed games this season through injury. The 14 have combined to miss out on 109 potential appearances during 2022/23.
Currently, Liverpool are without the services of key players such as Virgil van Dijk, Luis Diaz and Ibrahima Konate among others.

Speaking on February 3, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Jota was progressing with his recovery:
"Diogo Jota had a full session with the team this week but then the next day had again a rehab session, not because of the session the day before, it was just part of the plan. I think he will be back in normal training next week."
Looking ahead
Now that he has progressed further, Jota could now be available for the Reds' crucial Merseyside derby clash with Everton on Monday evening.
Liverpool are in dire need of a win having not won any of their Premier League games in 2023.
