Impact Diaz is still recovering from knee surgery from December, but is doing well and should return to individual training in the next coming weeks. The Colombian will need at least a full week of team training if he wants to be an option for the team where he will likely start on the bench until he can work himself back to a starting role.

Running on pitch Diaz (knee) is running on the pitch and a few weeks away from a return to training, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact This is the original timeline that Diaz was on, so it's good to see him slowly getting back to the pitch. He still faces another week out and the hope is that there won't be any setbacks. For now, as long as everything goes well, he'll be available at some point in March.

Set for surgery Diaz (knee) is set to undergo surgery on his LCL injury, Pipe Sierra of WinsportsTV reports.
Impact Diaz is set for a long-term surgery that would see him sidelined until March at the soonest. The winger suffered a set-back during Liverpool's Dubai training camp before being flown back to England for scans. Roberto Firmino will likely continue to see more playing time with Diaz set for an extended period on the sideline.

Suffers setback in recovery Diaz (knee) suffered a setback in his recovery during the team's training camp in Dubai and has already flown back to England, according to Paul Joyce of The Times.
Impact Diaz unfortunately didn't take long to suffer a new issue, and will now undergo further tests before anything is determined. He can now be considered a doubt to play in the Dec. 26 match against Aston Villa and for a week after that as well until more is known.

Set to return to training Diaz (knee) is set to return to training during his team's winter camp in Dubai, according to James Pearce of The Athletic.
Impact Diaz will be good news for the second half of the season as he's made good progress since suffering a bad knee injury in early-October. He scored four goals and logged two assists in 11 league and UCL appearances before the injury, so he'll expect to be the starting left-winger when he's cleared for competitive matches.

Able to run Diaz (knee) was able to run during Friday's training session, manager Jurgen Klopp announced ahead of Saturday's match against Southampton.
Impact Diaz still has plenty left to do in his recovery but is making steady progress. While he has to watch the World Cup from home, Colombia didn't make the tournament this year so he'll get extra time to regain his fitness.

Begins light running Diaz (knee) began running last week in his return from injury, according to assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders.
Impact Diaz will have the break to recover from injury and there's a chance he'll be ready to feature coming out of the break. More training updates will likely come out in the next couple months, but he's still a bit off, as he's just running alone at the moment, not even training with the ball.

Impact Diaz underwent a scan on Monday that revealed a medium-term injury that is expected to sideline him for 6-8 weeks, or Liverpool's next 10 games in all competitions through the World Cup hiatus. This will likely mean an uptick in game time for Diogo Jota and Fabio Carvalho along the attack, while Roberto Firmino could also step in a few more times even though he doesn't play on the left wing like Diaz.

Impact Diaz was seen walking down the tunnel so he may not be seriously injured but still dealing with a muscular problem. He's scored three times and logged three assists over his first nine games, but his absence for any stretch is likely to see Roberto Firmino play a more active role as a starter while Fabio Carvalho also gets the occasional chance to play. During a busy month before the World Cup, Diaz will hope to only be out a week or two but could miss three or four matches in that time.

Draws penalty Diaz had three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Rangers FC.
Impact Diaz failed to get on the scoresheet but it was his incisive run that drew the challenge from Leon King for Mohamed Salah's penalty. Diaz has been creative throughout the 2022/23 campaign though some poor form from Liverpool as a whole have denied him some goal contributions. Diaz appears to be one of the most nailed-on starters in a Liverpool side that figures to rotate frequently before the World Cup.

Assists off bench Diaz assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-3 draw versus Brighton & Hove Albion.
Impact Diaz came off the bench for the second half of Saturday's draw and provided an assist. It was an instant impact from the winger, who earned his first assist of the season. Diaz is much more of a finisher than provider, though with how lethal the Liverpool front three projects to be it's possible that Diaz could fall into a plethora of assists due to the strong finishing around him. Diaz is an elite fantasy option in all formats when in the starting XI.
