Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits Diogo Jota is still some weeks away from a playing return.

Liverpool have several players on the injury list and it will still be some time before Jota is back again.

He suffered a knee injury against FC Midtjylland in December, and he is still a few weeks away from being back in training, says Klopp.

"It's still going to take some time. He is still recovering, so he is still a couple of weeks away from being able to participate in full training," Klopp said.

But it looks better for Joel Matip and Naby Keita, who can not participate in Friday's FA Cup match against Aston Villa.

"Keita will be back soon, but not for the Villa match.

"We are trying to get him ready for the (Manchester) United match. He is well on his way, but whether he will be ready for it or only a few days later, I do not know."
