Liverpool rocked by Luis Diaz injury as disastrous season for Jurgen Klopp gets even worse – The Warm-Up

TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Liverpool are doomed Ad This is going terribly, even by Liverpool’s standards from the nineties and noughties. Virgil van Dijk has fallen. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson now have to defend, and can’t really.

Mohamed Salah has fewer league goals than Philip Billing. Darwin Nunez’s first successful header in the Premier League was on Joachim Andersen’s chin. And to cap it all off, their main shining light this season just went and got himself injured.

Premier LeagueHello to Man City’s main title challengers, Arsenal Football Club – The Warm-UpYESTERDAY AT 05:38 Luis Diaz has been pretty good this season. Not Sadio Mane good, but good nonetheless. He may have only scored four league goals – although that’s still two Salahs in today's market – but he’s much more than just his goals.

An aggressor, never happier than when chasing a lost cause, he was keeping Jurgen Klopp’s pressing machine afloat. Tenacious D, as absolutely zero people were calling him. Now though? What hope is left for Liverpool now Diaz is out until Boxing Day? There’s 10 games before then and they’re already closer to away nights at Rotherham than Arsenal.

Sure people say it every year, but this really was meant to be Liverpool’s year. The last time they narrowly missed out on the title, they went on an absolute rampage the next season until Covid struck. They had Salah, only behind Karim Benzema in the Ballon d’Or rankings, out for revenge and ready to spend six weeks relaxing alongside Diaz while the rest of the world did battle in Qatar.
