After it was discovered that Diogo Jota had arrived for training with his phone unlocked, fans went into convulsions.

Given that Liverpool will be without star player Mohamed Salah for several weeks due to the African Cup of Nations, the forward’s recent return to full fitness is a significant boost for the Reds.

After missing time due to a muscle injury in November, he made his Boxing Day debut and scored the team’s second goal in their close 2-0 victory over Burnley.

In addition to his skill as a front-three player for Liverpool, the Portugal international has developed a bit of a reputation as an avid EA Sports FC player in recent months.

Jota was one of several players shown showing up for training in a video posted on Liverpool’s social media pages on Friday. He was also playing his fave game while on the road.

The video, which lasted less than a minute, showed players like Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Ibrahima Konate arriving at the AXA Training Centre in Kirkby.

Jota may be seen entering the building with her phone in hand and wearing an orange jumper about halfway through the video.

The 27-year-old was obviously using the EAS FC Companion App, and it seemed like he had forgotten to lock his phone.

Players of Ultimate Team, a well-liked game mode on the game formerly known as FIFA, frequently use the Companion App.

With Ultimate Team, users can assemble teams and squads from any other player in the game and compete against other players online in matches that they have completed in a similar manner.

The purpose of the Companion App is to enable players to access their team and utilise other elements of Ultimate Team while they are not in front of their regular screen, even if matches can only be played on a PC or console.
