# Liverpool: Fans devastated after length of Diogo Jota setback confirmed

**Many [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/liverpool/) fans were upset and angry after discovering the length of time that new signing Diogo Jota could be sidelined for.**

The 24-year-old limped off injured during his side’s final Champions League Group Stage match, where they drew [1-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55221508) to FC Midtjylland in Denmark.

But the extent of the damage was revealed on Saturday, as [Record](https://www.record.pt/internacional/paises/inglaterra/liverpool/detalhe/lesao-afasta-diogo-jota-por-dois-meses) revealed that the Portugal international will be missing for the next two months due to a knee injury, meaning he’s now joining the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez in the group of those currently on the [sidelines](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-injury-crisis-full-list-23028060)with knee injuries.

Jota has been sensational for the Merseysiders since his [£41m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54214671#:~:text=Liverpool%20have%20completed%20the%20signing,with%20the%20Premier%20League%20champions.) move from Wolves in the summer, scoring nine goals in 17 appearances in all competitions ([TransferMarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/340950)).

Unsurprisingly, supporters were not pleased with the news, taking into account the current injury crisis that Liverpool have on their hands.
