Diaz ominously limped off during the first half of the clash and left the Emirates Stadium on crutches.

Manager Jurgen Klopp was not too hopeful about the Colombia international’s problem.

And The Athletic reports Diaz will be out until after the World Cup and is expected to return on Boxing Day.

Diaz signed for Liverpool from Porto for up to £50 million in January.

He’s been a key player since arriving and scored four goals so far for the stuttering Reds.

Juventus loanee Arthur Melo is also ruled out of action until the New Year.
