# Liverpool: Luis Diaz left Emirates Stadium on crutches

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) appear to have suffered a huge injury blow, with Luis Diaz spotted leaving the Emirates after the side’s 3-2 loss to Arsenal, according to [Gunnerblog](https://twitter.com/gunnerblog/status/1579170647795961857?s=46&t=krFJYQLuQbD3O9vHqiuo6g) reporter James McNicholas.**

### **The Lowdown: Diaz’s Liverpool career**

It was last January that the Reds announced that they had agreed an [initial £37m deal](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12527169/luis-diaz-liverpool-sign-porto-winger-on-five-and-a-half-year-deal-for-initial-fee-of-37m) with Porto to sign the Colombian winger.

Having made an instant impression at Kirkby, the 25-year-old has already made [38 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luis-diaz/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/480692) for the Merseyside outfit, having contributed a solid ten goals and eight assists in that time.

Diaz has also been a bright spark in a poor Liverpool side so far this season, having [bagged three goals and two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/luis-diaz/leistungsdaten/spieler/480692) in the Reds’ opening eight [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) games.

### **The Latest: Diaz injury update**

During Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, Diaz was substituted in the [42nd minute](https://www.skysports.com/football/arsenal-vs-liverpool/teams/464725) after suffering a knee injury. After the game, the winger was spotted leaving the stadium in worrying fashion.

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/gunnerblog/status/1579170647795961857?s=46&t=krFJYQLuQbD3O9vHqiuo6g), Gunnerblog journalist McNicholas – who [has contributed for](https://twitter.com/jamesmcnicholas) The Guardian and The Times – noted: “Luis Diaz has just left the Emirates using crutches and wearing a knee brace.”

### **The Verdict: Huge blow for Liverpool**

During his post-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp shared what he knew of Diaz’s injury.

Having previously dubbed the 25-year-old’s abilities as [‘exceptional’](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10476397/Liverpool-Jurgen-Klopp-heaps-praise-exceptional-Luis-Diaz.html), the Reds manager forlornly told [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/arsenal-vs-liverpool/report/464725#:~:text=Luis%20Diaz%20we%20had%20to%20change%2C%20something%20with%20the%20knee%2C%20not%20good.%20He%20will%20have%20a%20scan.): “Luis Diaz we had to change, something with the knee, not good. He will have a scan.”

With the severity of Diaz’s injury as yet unknown, this could end up being a massive blow for the Reds, with the Colombia international having proven to be a bright spark in an uncharacteristically sloppy Liverpool side since the start of the campaign.

Kopites will be hoping for good news when the club provides a more concrete update, with this setback the last thing that Klopp’s team needed given their mid-table position in the Premier League table and the small matter of Manchester City coming to town next weekend.
