Liverpool striker Diogo Jota is determined to help the team get back on track.

Jota has pledged to be like a new signing for Liverpool after making his return from a lengthy injury in Thursday's 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea.

Asked how he wanted to help the side, Jota told Liverpool's website: "Just a new boost in terms of confidence and, let's say like this, freshness because obviously they've been playing and fighting for the club.

"I feel like I could be like a winter transfer. So that's what I hope so they can rely on me and think I can help them in the future.

"But it was good, I played around 35 minutes and felt good. So I just need to keep training hard and with game time I think I'll be at my best again very soon."

He continued: "I want to help the team and I know scoring goals is important, but at the moment we just need to all stay together because it's a hard moment – not just for me but for the team.

"We all need to push from the same side and hopefully on Sunday we can get back to winning ways."
