# Liverpool: Fans furious with Paul Joyce’s update

**Many Liverpool fans were not happy with the update given regarding Diogo Jota’s fitness at Jurgen Klopp’s press conference on Wednesday.**

Speaking in his pre-Chelsea press conference (via [Paul Joyce](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1367098040948051969)), manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the Brazilian duo Alisson Becker and Fabinho would return for their Premier League clash against Chelsea.

However, he added that the 24-year-old Portuguese forward still has to be assessed after missing their 2-0 win against Sheffield United due to a [sudden illness](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jurgen-klopp-liverpool-chelsea-news-23582902).

Jota has [not been seen](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/leistungsdaten/spieler/340950) in a competitive game for Liverpool since their 1-1 draw to FC Midtjylland in the Champions League back in December – where he sustained a serious knee injury.

Because of this, supporters are starting to become impatient due to the Reds’ recent misfortune in front of goal, making their feelings clear to Joyce on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/_pauljoyce/status/1367098040948051969).
