The Dubai Super Cup kicked off on Sunday with Liverpool and Lyon facing off in the first match of a four-team tournament, which includes Milan and Arsenal. It will run until 16 December to keep the teams in top form during the World Cup in Qatar. The matches will be useful for Jürgen Klopp to see how fit his players are. But also to get back into footballing shape after the month-long break.
The match ended 3-1 in favour of Lyon of France. Good news for the Reds was the return to action of Naby Keita and Chamberlain who had been absent for a long period due to major injuries. However, the result was not as expected as Jürgen Klopp had hoped for a win.

In the penalty shootout Mohamed Salah missed his shot while the French were successful in all their shots, leaving the final score of the shootout 5-4. After the match Jürgen Klopp spoke at a press conference and showed his disappointment about the situation of one of the Reds' players. Luis Diaz is suffering from a new knee injury and will have to undergo surgery.
"It is a big disappointment for all of us. It was a non situation. Heard something. We had a look the next day. It was a proper smash in the face. Darwin Nunez will join us tomorrow. We will see the others again. Everyone gets a week off after the World Cup. Harvey got a knock before we scored. I think we were lucky. He feels fine."
Liverpool winger Luis Diaz will undergo medical checks after suffering physical discomfort after leaving the Premier League club's pre-season training camp in Dubai, manager Jurgen Klopp said. Diaz, who earlier this week said he was "happy to be back", reportedly had a relapse from a knee injury suffered in October and was missing training sessions on Thursday and Friday ahead of Liverpool's friendlies against Lyon and Milan. The Colombian striker has made 12 appearances so far this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists, after joining Klopp's side in the summer from FC Porto.
