After suffering an illness, the Portuguese is yet to score no goals at Liverpool so far this season. In Portugal Jota scored a goal in the Nations League against the Czech Republic on 24 September.
In the 2021-22 season, Diogo Jota has scored 21 goals for Liverpool in all competitions. The 26-year-old Portuguese international (who played for Atlético between 2016 and 2018) signed for the ‘red’ club in 2020 from Wolves. He played 29 games in Portugal and scored 10 goals for his team.
