Luis Diaz's girlfriend has sent a sweet message ahead of his return from injury.
The winger has been out of action since October when he suffered a serious knee injury in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal. Jurgen Klopp has been boosted as the Colombian international is expected to be named in the matchday squad for tonight's match against Leeds United.
Diaz's longtime partner, Gera Ponce, has been by his side throughout his return to full fitness. Gera regularly shares updates from their happy family life on Instagram and she has taken to the social media platform to post adorable snaps of their young daughter, Roma, in a red shirt ahead of Diaz's eagerly anticipated return.

A translation of the post said: "It's today dad. You will never walk alone. We love you."
Diaz has been sorely missed as the Reds have struggled during an underwhelming campaign. Klopp hopes the 26-year-old's return can inspire a strong end to the season.
He told a pre match press conference: "Yeah, absolutely it is [like having a new signing]. Luis, he developed massively. In that time his English is getting better, so he is really settled. He was here every day – how it is with injured players and especially long-term injured players, they are even more at the training ground than all the others, so every day together with therapists and stuff like this.
"He really matured again, he is much more comfortable than he was in the beginning with everything in a new country, so that’s really good and it will help him as well. So, we are really happy to have him back."
