Liverpool star Diogo Jota misses Portugal training ahead of Georgia Euro 2024 clash

Portugal forward Diogo Jota is a doubt to face Georgia after missing full training on Monday.

The Liverpool star had a torrid season with injuries and missed the day’s main session at Euro 2024 due to ‘muscle fatigue’, say CNN Portugal.

The ex-Wolves man missed eight games after sustaining a muscle injury in November for Liverpool.

And later in the campaign he was stretchered off in Liverpool’s win over Brentford in February with a knee collateral ligament tear that sidelined him for 11 games.

Now, despite missing their 3-0 win over Turkey, and playing just 27 minutes of their opener against Czech Republic, Jota may also miss their final game of the group stage.

It’s reported that he, Nuno Mendes, and Goncalo Ramos, who was struck by a pitch invader on Sunday, all did their specific training.

Paris Saint-Germain star Mendes, who has started both games played only spent time in the gym.

Jota and Ramos, meanwhile, did work with a trainer away from the main group.

Fellow forward Rafael Leao misses their clash with Georgia for two yellow cards in the first two games for simulation.

That might have given Jota hope of a start, especially given Portugal have six points and sit top of Group F.

He also saw a goal disallowed in his cameo against Czech Republic.

But now muscle fatigue could prevent him from making his mark at the tournament.
