Klopp: Diaz injury setback 'a proper smash in the face'

The Liverpool striker is facing a three-month spell on the sidelines.

JURGEN KLOPP HAS described Luis Diaz’s latest injury setback as “a proper smash in the face”, with the Liverpool striker expected to face a three-month spell on the sidelines.

The 25-year-old has been out of action since injuring his knee against Arsenal in mid-October, and has now suffered a fresh setback during Liverpool’s mid-season training camp in Dubai last week.

“It’s clear it’s a big disappointment for all of us, for him as well,” Klopp said.

“It was a non-situation in training, honestly.

“Nothing, and (he) felt something. Didn’t feel a lot (the) next day but we wanted to be really cautious and said: ‘OK, come on, let’s have a brief look.’

“And then the news came and it was a proper smash in the face. But that’s it now.”

    So she’s basically saying how amazing her team is. Nice bit of typical Cork modesty!

    To be fair, she wouldn’t be wrong if she that openly! Eight All-Irelands in nine years is some going.

    I think Bríd is a little generous comparing her team to that of Kilkenny’s hurlers.
