DBasia.news – Luis Diaz, a Liverpool winger, has suffered a serious knee injury and will certainly be out of action for the Reds for at least a month and a half.
Diaz appeared from the start in Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat of Arsenal in the tenth week of the English Premier League at the Emirates Stadium, Sunday (9/10).
The 25-year-old player had an assist for the equalizing goal created by Darwin Nunez in the 34th minute. Three minutes later, he was lying on the ground after being fouled by Partey, who was not awarded any card penalty from referee Michael Oliver.
Diaz was unable to continue the match and was replaced by Roberto Firmino in the 41st minute. He limped off and left the stadium with a knee brace post-match.
With this injury, the player will miss ten of Liverpool’s games, three of which against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Napoli in the Champions League.
The former Porto player will only return to defend Liverpool after the World Cup in the next November-December period. Incidentally, the Colombian national team did not qualify for Qatar 2022.
Diaz’s injury added to Liverpool’s suffering, which was scattered in tenth place in the standings due to the defeat while waiting for news of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s injury in the same match.
