Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke about Luis Diaz's condition after he returned to training with his teammates on Thursday. "We have to be patient but his return is a massive boost anyway," he said.

Colombian Luis Diaz returned to training on Thursday after six months on the sidelines with a knee injury. He was injured at the beginning of October in a match against Arsenal in which he suffered a collision with Thomas Partey.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke about his condition at the press conference before the Premier League match against Manchester City.

"Yeah, we have to be patient but it's a massive boost anyway. It's just nice to have the boy around because he is a super energiser, super-positive impact with just being around. It was a super, super-strange and difficult season for Luis, it was the Arsenal game, what a situation that was when he got injured early in the season. It was a really bad day, by the way.

"So, we will see. In training everything looks fine but of course he's not in the squad for the weekend, there's no chance. Next week will be an important week for him; this week he was doing parts of training, next week I think most of the things he can do. Then we will see. Maybe [ready for] Arsenal but more likely Leeds after that," Klopp told reporters.
