# Liverpool: Fans react to Diogo Jota injury update

**Many Liverpool fans reacted to reports that forward Diogo Jota is due to return to first-team training this week.**

The 24-year-old has been missing from action since his side’s 1-1 draw against FC Midtjylland in the Champions League back in December, after limping off with a knee injury during that encounter.

Jota had helped Liverpool get off to a flying start during the 2020/21 campaign, having scored five goals from five Premier League starts, and four in four starts in Europe ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/235755/Show/Diogo-Jota)).

In light of the Reds’ recent [injury crisis](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-injury-crisis-excuse-more-19768465), the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9286533/Liverpool-Diogo-Jota-set-return-team-training-week.html) handed them a boost and revealed that the Portugal international could be back in full training by Wednesday.

Unsurprisingly, supporters were delighted with the update regarding Jota, with some left drooling over the prospect of his return to the first-team.
