(Reuters) - Liverpool forward Diogo Jota's foot injury is not as bad as first feared and the striker has an outside chance of playing in the club's final game of the season, manager Juergen Klopp said on Tuesday.

Jota was injured in Liverpool's 4-2 win over Manchester United last week and Klopp had earlier said that the Portuguese, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions, would not play again this season.
