Jurgen Klopp said that he still cannot imagine a locker room at Liverpool without Diogo Jota in it. Klopp was the Liverpool manager when Jota joined the Reds from Wolves in 2020, and spent four years in charge of the Portuguese until he quit as Reds boss last year.

That run now stands at four games, following the loss to Manchester United at Anfield, and Klopp suggested that the impact of Jota's tragic passing on the Reds' form shouldn't be underestimated. "I cannot imagine the dressing room without him, it’s so hard, it’s so hard," Klopp said.
