Liverpool is currently grappling with a series of injury setbacks as they approach the international break, with Darwin Nunez being among the players who have opted out of the Uruguay squad. The notable striker has been contending with several physical issues recently, prompting his withdrawal from the national team roster for their forthcoming fixtures. This development may be viewed favorably by Liverpool’s manager, Jurgen Klopp, as it allows Nunez to focus on recuperation and ensure his optimal fitness for the upcoming matches.
Despite this, there are reportedly new concerns emerging regarding the condition of winger Luis Diaz, who was acquired for a sum of £37 million.
Luis Diaz injury concern for Liverpool and Colombia
According to a report by AS, concerns have arisen within the Colombian national team regarding the latest injury to Diaz, adding to a growing list of players who have been sidelined due to injuries. The Colombians are reportedly troubled by the trend of players succumbing to various injuries.
AS’s report indicates that Ian Poveda and Yerry Mina have already departed from the squad due to injuries, with Cristian Borja being another player who has returned home. There are now apprehensions within the team that Diaz might also be forced to withdraw.
Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, confirmed post the match against Manchester United that Diaz was experiencing discomfort in his groin. Should Diaz participate in Colombia’s matches, Klopp will undoubtedly observe with keen interest.
Liverpool will be hoping for Nunez repeat with Luis Diaz injury
In the media, Liverpool and Klopp may outwardly express contentment for the departure of their players, yet beneath the surface, their preference lies in retaining as many as possible within their ranks.
The return of Nunez to the Liverpool training facility is regarded as advantageous. Similarly, should Diaz follow suit, it would elicit satisfaction from Liverpool.
Although Diaz holds a prominent role within the Colombian national team and demonstrates a fervent commitment to representing his country, Liverpool endeavors to wield influence in retaining his services.
