Colombian causes headaches for German coach ahead of Champions League clash 

Luis Díaz's arrival at Liverpool a season ago was a memorable one and he managed to earn a place in Jurgen Klopp's starting line-up and therefore, in this 2022/23 season, he was able to be undisputed in the squad, giving him the luxury of displacing Sadio Mané, who had to leave after the arrival of the guajiro.However, last Sunday everything changed for Luis Diaz, who experienced first-hand how in just 42 minutes his competitive rhythm with Liverpool came to an end, after suffering an injury against Arsenal in the Premier League.

After tests, Díaz was initially diagnosed with a left knee injury, which will keep him out for almost two months and he will miss important matches that will be definitive for Liverpool in Champions League, Cup and Premier League.Despite Liverpool's poor start to the current season where they have failed to be that stable and winning team, Luis Díaz managed to maintain his level and was able to be decisive in some games, saving Jurgen Klopp's team on several occasions.

Luis Diaz achieved in the current season some good numbers despite having played 12 official matches distributed in Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup, being in most games very important in the game system. In the Premier League, the player has played a total of eight games, starting seven games and being a substitute in just one, which was against Brighton, playing 45 minutes of the second half.

In the rest of the matches with Liverpool in the Premier League, he managed to score three goals, two against Bournemouth and one against Crystal Palace, and was also included in the League team of the week, and in the Champions League he also scored one against Napoli in the 4-1 thrashing in Italy. He has also been noted for his passing ability, assisting twice and averaging two shots per game, making him a key weapon for Klopp this season.

<strong>Luis Díaz will be the most difficult player to fill</strong>

Now, with an injury in his legs, he will have to start working to recover the good rhythm he had and the doubt is whether he will be the same important player of the season when he returns to official competition in December, in matches where Liverpool will have already decided his future in international competitions and with half of the league played.
