Liverpool expect Luis Díaz to be out until March after the forward had surgery on an injury sustained during their training camp in the United Arab Emirates.

Jürgen Klopp described the setback as “a proper smash in the face”. Díaz has been out since mid-October with a knee injury and was working his way back during the mid-season World Cup break.
