Colombian left the match against Arsenal on Sunday 

Luis Diaz has endured one of the worst days of his playing career after sustaining an injury at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday after being fouled by Partey. The Colombian left the pitch straight to the dressing room with the team doctor and then left the stadium on crutches. The uncertainty about the Colombian's health is tremendous and alarm bells are ringing.

He will not play on Wednesday against Rangers in the Champions League and is also in doubt to face Manchester City at the weekend. But the issue could be much worse, according to the words of Klopp at a press conference, who did not leave the best omens. Luis Diaz has little history of injury and even less of a history of complicated issues. In fact, he has only been injured four times in European football and only one was a significant issue; otherwise, he gets over injuries easily and has never been out of action for Liverpool since his arrival in February.

Díaz's first injury with Porto was on 28 February 2020. That evening his team was knocked out of the Europa League by Bayer Leverkusen and he suffered a "muscle fracture" that left him 17 days on the sidelines and without a major call-up to the Colombia national team. Then he had a slight muscle injury on 22 October 2020 and this meant he was out for 9 days and missed two games with Porto.

Something natural due to the wear and tear of the season. Later he had a 'particular injury. The Colombian was positive for coronavirus on 17 January 2021 and was sidelined for 10 days, so he missed 2 games for Porto in the local tournament. The last and fourth injury was also at Porto. On 10 May 2021 he was injured on his home pitch after scoring in Porto's 5-1 win over Fairense.

He was only out for a couple of weeks and has never suffered another injury since. The Colombian arrived at Liverpool in February 2022 and was never absent due to physical problems, but he was absent due to the rotations made by Jurgen Klopp in the face of the overload of games. Now he got injured this October 9 in the visit to Arsenal and sets off serious alarm bells because it could be the toughest injury of his European career.
