The worst is confirmed: Luis Diaz will be out until December due to a serious knee injury.

Minute 41 of the first half in the match between Liverpool and Arsenal, when an image generated much concern in the 'Reds' coaching staff: after a strong collision with Thomas Partey, Luis Diaz ended up lying on the ground and struggling to walk. Without thinking twice, Jurgen Klopp sent Roberto Firmino to warm up to replace the Colombian.

Although the final result was adverse for Anfield, the question about the physical condition of the former Porto - and also Trent Alexander-Arnold, who also did not complete the match and was changed in the second half - captured the questions in the press room. Klopp, without much information, could only say that the situation didn't look good.

However, the whole panorama about the Colombian was clarified this afternoon thanks to the information being handled by the British and Colombian press. According to Pipe Sierra, a journalist from 'Win Sports' who has good sources in England, Luis Diazhas suffered an injury to his left knee and will not be able to play for Liverpool, at least, until December of this year.

"Due to a problem in his knee, Luis Diaz will be out for Liverpool until December. It will take six weeks to return to training on the field. This was known after a preliminary examination," the aforementioned journalist tweeted on his official account.

On the other hand, according to Dominc Ling, journalist for the 'Daily Mail', the former Junior de Barranquilla will not need surgery and will be out of the playing field, at least, until after the Qatar 2022 World Cup. This would make him miss up to ten matches with the 'Reds', three of them for the Champions League.

"Luis Diaz will be out until December due to the knee injury he suffered against Arsenal. No surgery is required, which is a relief for Jürgen Klopp," said the English journalist on his Twitter account.

Although there is no official confirmation from Liverpool, the scenario is not the best for Jürgen Klopp, especially due to the low level of his team and because the Colombian was one of the differentiating values in his squad. This is Díaz's first injury in England, as he had not been injured since May 2021 when he suffered a muscle problem at Porto.
