Jurgen Klopp has bemoaned the “proper smash in the face” Liverpool have suffered due to Luis Diaz's injury setback.
The Colombian has been out of action since October after suffering a knee problem in a defeat against Arsenal. He made his return to training earlier this week after the Reds travelled to Dubai for a midseason camp whilst the Premier League has a break for the World Cup.
However, it was subsequently confirmed that former Porto star Diaz has suffered a setback in his recovery and has flown back to England to undergo further testing and scans on the injury. Speaking after the Reds’ 3-1 friendly defeat by French side Lyon on Sunday, Klopp hit out at Liverpool’s bad fortune when it comes to the winger’s fitness.
