Liverpool is a mess after Luis Diaz's new injury, players suffer

Just when everything seemed to be looking good for Liverpool, and especially Luis Fernando Diaz, what no one wanted to hear during pre-season in Dubai was confirmed. Diaz travelled to get a shot at training when he was released, at least to take part in the work sessions. However, it was not expected that the Guajiro could suffer a tough relapse that would condition him for a return in 2023.

While European leagues have stopped for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, most clubs have started tours with a view to training and arriving with activity to face what will be a return in 2023 in the Premier League. But Liverpool are working to come back stronger in the final weeks of the festive season when they face Manchester City in the EFL Cup. For the past few days, Jürgen Klopp and the players not called up for the World Cup in Qatar have been in Dubai.
