# Liverpool: Diogo Jota back in full training next week

**[Diogo Jota](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/diogo-jota/) is expected to return to full training for [Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) at some point next week, following a positive update from journalist Neil Jones.**

### The Lowdown: Jota out vs Wolves

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds make the trip to Molineux this weekend for another vital [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) game, with a quick turnaround in form now essential in the top-four battle.

Liverpool will be hoping to bounce back from their FA Cup exit at the hands of Brighton last Sunday, in what has the potential to be a tricky afternoon.

Someone who won’t be able for the game is former Molineux favourite Jota, who hasn’t featured since back in October, but a positive update has emerged regarding the forward.

### The Latest: Jota timeline

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/neiljonesgoal/status/1621482409060405249?s=20&t=RjY5rtD8wsfD1vZyW5LO4w), journalist Neil Jones confirmed that Jota will be back in full training next week:

> “Klopp says Diogo Jota had a full session with the team this week. ‘I think he will be back in normal training next week.'”

### The Verdict: Big boost for Klopp

This is a massive boost for Liverpool ahead of a crucial upcoming run of fixtures, with Jota someone who Jurgen Klopp has [described](https://www.eurosport.com/football/premier-league/2021-2022/liverpool-boss-jurgen-klopp-praises-exceptional-diogo-jota-after-goal-heroics-in-southampton-premier_sto8646562/story.shtml) as an ‘exceptional’ player.

The [£140,000-a-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/liverpool-fc/diogo-jota-27802/) Portuguese forward has been a regular contributor of end product since arriving from Wolves in the summer of 2020, [scoring 34 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diogo-jota/alletore/spieler/340950) and registering 14 assists in 93 appearances.

Jota’s return will help take the burden off Mohamed Salah, whose form has suffered of late – he has [only scored once](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/108226/Show/Mohamed-Salah) in his last seven appearances –  and suddenly provide Klopp with an extra option capable of playing across the attack.

If he was available for the home clash with Everton a week on Monday it would be ideal for Liverpool, giving him time to hit his stride before the Champions League tie with Real Madrid later this month.
