Luis Diaz - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes full 90 with Colombia Diaz (groin) started and went the full 90 in Colombia's friendly against Spain on Friday.

Impact The news of a possible groin injury for Diaz were clearly overblown, as he went the full 90 in a friendly less than a week after the FA Cup match. It looks like Diaz is completely fine and ready to feature going forward. He's started almost every meaningful match for the Reds since November, scoring three goals and assisting twice in his last seven league starts.

Impact Diaz made it 114 minutes Sunday before having to go off and there's a decent chance this isn't an issue that will force him to miss time. While Liverpool have a couple weeks before their next match, Diaz will travel to play with Colombia and if he has to miss any of those games, then this will be something to worry about, but for now, it's a minor problem going into the break.

Misses glorious chance Diaz generated two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester City.

Impact Diaz was through on goal in the final 10 minutes of Sunday's draw and blazed a glorious chance just wide. It was a heart-wrenching miss for the winger, who has struggled to finish of late. Still he has created chances with ease in recent matches and if he can improve his finishing, Diaz could be in for a late goalscoring surge.

Nets in win Diaz scored one goal to go with 10 shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 4-1 victory versus Luton Town.

Impact Diaz took on a large role during Wednesday's win with Darwin Nunez (knock) and Mohamed Salah (hamstring) both on the sideline. With the other two preferred options in the front three left injures Diaz will be the main driving piece of the attack alongside Cody Gakpo. Diaz should also see major minutes in the coming matches, especially a Sunday Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.

Assists in win Diaz assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win versus Brentford.

Impact Diaz was back on the scoresheet for the second match in a row, popping up with an assist this time. The winger will be needed to take on a major role with Diogo Jota (knee) expected to have suffered a serious injury. Diaz has finally found some form and with Mohamed Salah fit once more this could be the start of another lethal Liverpool front three.

Goal in rout Diaz scored one goal to go with five shots (four on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Burnley.

Impact Diaz netted for just the fifth time in the Premier League, a disappointing tally, though it did set his new career high for goals since making the switch to England. Diaz is an exciting player but end product and consistency seem to elude him too frequently. Still he is the top choice on the left wing in an excellent attack so Diaz has plenty of upside in any given match.

Goal, assist in win Diaz scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Wednesday's 4-1 win against Chelsea.

Impact Diaz found the assist in the first half before latching onto a Darwin Nunez cross in the second half to make it four. The winger has been back in the starting XI and back to form of late now that his off pitch issues have been resolved. With Mohamed Salah (hamstring) likely still a week or two away, Diaz will likely continue in the starting role on the right wing.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Back on scoresheet Diaz assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Burnley.

Impact Diaz got back on the scoresheet during Tuesday's win, setting up the second goal. The left winger has been in poor form but with his personal issues of late it's not surprising that he may be dealing with some things off the pitch. Diaz will hope to build on this assist and bounce back to his best in 2024.

On bench against Burnley Diaz (knee) is on the bench to face Burnley on Tuesday.

Impact Diaz's knee injury was always deemed minor, but they're taking a cautious approach with him, and that's why he's on the bench here. Cody Gakpo gets the start upfront alongside Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez.

Injury deemed minor Diaz went down during Saturday's match against Arsenal with a knee injury, but that knock has been deemed minor, according to manager Jurgen Klopp, per Theo Squires of the Liverpoo...

Impact Diaz looks like he won't miss much time with his latest knock, as it seems as if the problem was only a collision of two knees instead of anything related to a muscle or tendon injury. Manager Jurgen Klopp was hopeful the attacker would return to play soon but did not expect the player to be ready in three days for their match against Burnley. They will most likely take his return cautiously, with the international break only a few contests away, so don't be surprised if he is not an option Tuesday. If Diaz cannot go, expect Cody Gakpo to capture the starting spot on the wing.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes down with knock Diaz was taken off in the 68th minute of Saturday's match against Arsenal, having gone down with an apparent knee injury.

Impact Diaz, unfortunately, was seconds away from exiting the pitch for a substitute before encountering his injury, having gone down with a knock to his knee after a tackle was made on the attacker. However, the problem looks to be minor, as his knee looked to have made a collision during the tackles, resulting in more of a knock than a muscular injury, and he was able to walk off on his own. The attacker was replaced by Harvey Elliot, but expect Cody Gakpo to take over the starting role if Diaz is required to miss any time.

DECEMBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts in four straight Diaz has notched five goals on 31 shots to go along with eight crosses, 15 chances created and 16 tackles in 19 appearances (14 starts) this season.

Impact Diaz continues to be Liverpool's top option on the left flank this season, having started in the past four matches after a brief stint where he was only given the starting nod once in five matches. He will look to keep up the same production with his team being top of the league, having five goals this season, which already matches his total from last season. However, he has struggled to create opportunities this season, going without an assist so far this season. He will look to continue as the starter as Liverpool tries to capture the title in a highly contentious top-of-the-table race.
