Diogo Jota has been training with former sprinter Francis Obikwelu as he looks to get himself in peak physical condition ahead of the new season. The sprinter won silver at the 2004 Olympics in Athens - his time of 9.86 seconds remained his personal best for the duration of his career and is still the European record over the distance. Obikwelu also won three European Championship golds during his career, and so few are better placed than him to help Jota gain that extra bit of speed. But Obikwelu believes he has the answer to that issue of tiredness and dealing with a hectic schedule of fixtures. Jota will be hoping all this advice helps him become a regular in Jurgen Klopp's side this season.
