It’s clear that we are expecting them to be back with us in the upcoming weeks. It is always difficult to say exactly how long it is. Both of them are not going to be out for months, that’s for sure, as long as the rehab goes as planned”.

When is Liverpool’s next fixture?

Liverpool is set to face Lille in the Champions League on Tuesday, and it’s going to be a tough match without Diogo Jota and Joe Gomez.
