Jurgen Klopp gives injury update on Luis Diaz and return dates for Liverpool duo

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp gave an injury update on Luis Diaz, Thiago and Joe Gomez ahead of their clash with Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.

Diaz has been out since October with a knee injury and has missed 26 games after starting the season in fine form.

Thiago has been missing since mid-February after suffering a hip flexor injury and Gomez came off as a precuation during the 5-2 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League, on 21 February, and hasn’t played since.

Klopp confirmed that the trio are all unavailable for the away trip to the Vitality Stadium, but revealed a return to full training is close for Diaz.

“Luis Diaz I hope will train during next week. Thiago, we will see how it develops in next couple of weeks. Apart from that nothing that I have heard about.”

“Joe Gomez is also not available. All three are not available, they are at different stages.”

Outside of that, Sky Sports reporter Vinny O’Connor confirmed earlier today that Juventus loanee Arthur Melo has been in full training and is nearing a return to the matchday squad, which could come this weekend.
