(Reuters) - Liverpool's injury issues continue to mount with striker Diogo Jota added to an already lengthy list of absentees ahead of Wednesday's Champions League game at RB Leipzig, manager Arne Slot said on Tuesday.

Jota was forced off the pitch after 30 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 Premier League victory over Chelsea with right back Conor Bradley missing the game entirely due to injury.
