Aldridge admitted that he was impressed by Jota’s performance, who was considered similar to Salah at the beginning of his career at Liverpool.
Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has stated that Diogo Jota’s current impact is similar to that of Mohamed Salah earlier in his career on Merseyside.
Wrong absent when The Reds won over Leicester City in the English Premier League last weekend after testing positive for Covid-19 while serving with the Egyptian national team.
However, on Tuesday (24/11) today, Jurgen Klopp confirmed that the 28-year-old player had tested negative for the corona virus so he could return to full training with the Liverpool squad in Kirkby and will appear in the match against Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday (26 / 11) early morning WIB.
Jota drew attention again in the opponent’s match The Foxes, netting his eighth goal for Liverpool in just 12 games, while Roberto Firmino also scored again.

Without Salah, Liverpool seemed to appear flowing, scoring three goals and without conceding. That seems to make Klopp confused about choosing his squad.
“What did you do when Salah came back?” said Aldrige to Liverpool Echo.
“It will be difficult, but it is a great position for the manager to use four attacking players.”
“It was great for Roberto Firmino to score at Anfield because it seemed like the world was against him. Of the three established strikers, where he is definitely the most at risk, you have to say that.”
They’re all going to fight for their place at the moment and it’s a good headache for the manager to have, but you don’t get Jota out of the team now. “
“He has a big impact, which is similar to Salah when he first came to the club.”
“He is hungry, he has great desire. Jota knows how good the front three are and he wants to be better than them.”
“Jota is doing things he never did before at Wolves. At a bigger club, he is the center of attention and his game for Portugal is getting better.”
“He does everything on the right notes.”
Jota joined Anfield last summer for £ 45 million ($ 60 million), and has been a Liverpool shirt since he joined from AS Roma in 2017.
