Liverpool striker Diogo Jota is at risk of missing Portugal's World Cup campaign.

Jota broke down late into victory over Manchester City.

The Athletic says Jota is at "serious risk" of missing the World Cup due to a muscle injury in his right leg. The striker has carried out an extensive battery of exams, the conclusions of which were not officially announced by the club.

The suspense about Jota's physical condition should end today and, if the worst case scenario is confirmed, Fernando Santos will have another problem to solve in Portugal's offensive sector, which has also lost Wolves winger Pedro Neto through injury.
