While relieved the player didn’t suffer a more serious knee ligament injury, Diaz has been working hard to get back into shape ahead of the season resumption.
The Reds were then boosted by the news that the 25-year-old would travel to Dubai as part of their 33-man squad for their mini-break ahead of the season resuming over the festive period.

It remains to be seen exactly what the nature of his injury is, with Klopp revealing that his injury is the only bad news for the Liverpool squad.
He told the club’s website: “Everything is fine. [fitness-wise] with the boys who are there.
“What is not good is that you have to see with Lucho [Luis Diaz].
