the alarms They are on fire in Liverpool and in Colombia in general after learning that the soccer player Luis Díaz had to be excluded due to an annoyance during the match between Liverpool and Arsenal, for the Premier League.
There is still no precise information on the severity of the injury he presented, so different athletes consulted by THE COLOMBIAN they believe it is hasty to even indicate where in his knee any damage may have been caused.
“Looking at the images it is very difficult to establish what type of injury it presents. In the video there is no clear movement, once this starts the player already has his knee extended”, said the doctor Óscar Mario Cardona, after seeing the video of the exact moment in which the attacker is injured.
In the midst of waiting for the club’s official medical report, press versions from European media assure that the Colombian will have six weeks of disability. Thus, until December, the Colombian could not have competition again.
The Guajiro retired injured in the 42nd minute of this Sunday’s game due to a blow to his left leg that prevented him from continuing on the pitch.
Before being substituted, the Colombian made the pass for his team’s partial tie (1-1), which was scored by Darwin Núñez (34′).
Although this score was not enough to avoid the defeat of the Redswho fell 3-2 in their eighth game in the Premier, competition in which they have had a campaign to be forgotten, which to date leaves them a discreet balance. Ten points total in this tournament, product of two wins, four draws and two losses.
Díaz remained seated on the ground, talked with the members of the club’s medical staff and was replaced by Firmino. He went to the locker room by his own means, which at first suggested that it was not a serious situation.
However, with the passing of the hours and after listening to the technical director Jurgen Klopp at the press conference, that perception changed a bit.
The counselor, who received the player with a hug at the time of the substitution, was concerned when talking about the situation of his team’s winger, although he did not go into detail about the seriousness and characteristics of the injury.
In fact, he explained that both in that case and in that of defenseman Trent Alexander-Arnold, who also had to be replaced due to a sprained ankle, diagnostic aids are needed.
“Both players will now require further evaluation to determine severity,” the coach said.
Nevertheless, in his speech he gave indications that the situation It may not be as simple as initially believed.
“Lucho we had to change him before the break. It’s something with the knee, it’s not good. They’ll do a scan and then we’ll know more. I have no idea of the importance”, added the technical director after the match.
