Liverpool are facing up to the prospect of being without Luis Diaz until March after the winger underwent surgery over the weekend.
Diaz had surgery to correct an issue with his lateral collateral ligament, which is the second serious knee problem of the season for the 25-year-old.
The Reds star was preparing for his return out in Dubai having worked his way back to fitness during the mid-season break, but suffered a serious setback in Friday’s training session.
