Diaz was forced off just before half-time and was replaced by Roberto Firmino as Liverpool were beaten 3-2 by the league leaders in north London.

After the match, the 25-year-old Colombia international was seen departing the stadium using crutches and wearing a knee brace.

‘He is injured unfortunately,’ Klopp told the BBC when quizzed about both Diaz and his Liverpool team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold.

‘It doesn’t look good for both. That is the icing on the cake.’

Diaz has arguably been Liverpool’s best player so far this season, registering three goals and two assists across his first eight games in the top-flight.

But it has been a horrendous start to the 2022-23 campaign for Klopp’s side, who are down to 10th in the table having only won two Premier League games.

It is a dramatic shift from last season, when the Reds were two games away from achieving an unprecedented quadruple.

They were forced to settle for a domestic cup double, winning the FA Cup and League Cup, having missed out on the Premier League title by a single point on the last day of the season and losing the Champions League final to Real Madrid.

Klopp, speaking after Sunday’s defeat to Arsenal, added: ‘We created, we were really dangerous, we scored our goal, wonderful goal.
