Liverpool have been dealt a major blow after a scan on the knee injury Luis Diaz suffered in the loss against Arsenal on Sunday returned bad news.
Diaz had to be substituted during the defeat in north London and widespread reports now say that he is set to be sidelined until December. He will therefore miss the Reds' next 10 games. Although no surgery is required on the problem, Liverpool will now be without one of their brightest sparks until after the World Cup.
The 25-year-old winger has been a revelation since joining the club from Porto in January, returning 10 goals and eight assists in 38 matches across all competitions. He has helped replace Sadio Mane, who left for Bayern Munich in the summer, but will now spend around six to eight weeks in the treatment room.
