Jurgen Klopp gives Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino injury update for Carabao Cup final

Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool still have hope of having both Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino available for the Carabao Cup final this weekend.

The Reds travel to Wembley Stadium on Sunday to face Chelsea in the final of the competition.

Liverpool saw off Arsenal in their two-legged semi-final contest last month, while Chelsea beat London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

There are doubts that both Jota and Firmino could miss Liverpool’s trip to Wembley on Sunday, with the pair recently absent due to injury.

Jota suffered an ankle injury in the win over Inter Milan in the Champions League, while Firmino suffered a muscle problem soon after the clash in Italy.

Both players missed Saturday’s 3-1 win over Norwich City in the Premier League, and look set to miss out against Leeds United on Wednesday night.

However, Klopp has insisted that the club will do all that they can to try and get both Jota and Firmino fit and available for the final against Chelsea this weekend.

“Yes, it’s too early,” Klopp told Liverpoolfc.com, when asked about Jota and Firmino’s chances of playing against Chelsea.

“I don’t even know if it will be a late decision or not; how I said, it’s too early. I saw them both today, they both look great – but those two always look great.

“We have to see how the specific issues develop but we obviously will try everything.”
