Luis Diaz: Liverpool winger suffers injury setback with Jurgen Klopp calling it a 'smash in the face'

Luis Diaz has suffered an injury during Liverpool's training camp in the United Arab Emirates, with Jurgen Klopp describing it as a "proper smash in the face".

Diaz has been absent since suffering a knee injury in Liverpool's 3-2 defeat at Arsenal on October 9 but was preparing for his return during the Reds' warm-weather camp.

However, the winger sustained a setback last week, with Jurgen Klopp saying: "He was not in the best possible place.

"It's clear it's a big disappointment for all of us, for him as well.

"It was a non-situation in training, honestly. Nothing [then he] felt something. [He] didn't feel a lot [the] next day but we wanted to be really cautious and said, 'OK, come on, let's have a look.'

"Then the news came and it was a proper smash in the face. But that's it now."

Klopp said at the time of Diaz's original injury that the situation was "not good".
