A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting in worried fashion after Diogo Jota missed training ahead of Saturday's clash with Newcastle United.

The Reds host the Magpies this weekend, in what represents a must-win game for the Premier League champions.

Victory for Jurgen Klopp's men would take them above both Chelsea and West Ham in the table, with the pair meeting at the London Stadium later in the day.

Liverpool continue to be plagued by a number of injury problems, with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip and Jordan Henderson all key absentees.

Although it hasn't been confirmed - Jurgen Klopp's press conference is later on Friday - there are concerns that Jota may have joined them on the treatment table, having not taken part in training (Liverpool Echo) on Thursday.

It may be that he was simply being rested or doing indoor work, but considering how this season has panned out, another injury wouldn't be a surprise.
