Jürgen Klopp is pleased with the form of Diogo Jota since his return from a long-term injury and is convinced the forward is getting closer to his best level once again.

Two separate fitness issues have meant the Portugal international has been restricted to 18 appearances in all competitions for Liverpool so far in 2022-23 and is still looking for his first goal of the season.

Nevertheless, Klopp is satisfied with the performances Jota has delivered since returning in February and feels he will be 'super-important' in the Reds' final 10 fixtures of the term.
