Liverpool’s Luis Diaz offers fans an injury update as he posts a training video on social media

Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has showed fans a glimpse of him back in training, as the Colombia star eyes a return to the first team after a lengthy spell out injured.

Diaz has been unavailable for the Reds since injuring his knee against Arsenal in October, and his side have struggled in his absence.

They currently sit ninth in the Premier League after a sobering loss to Brighton on Saturday, with their top four hopes lying in tatters.

The Colombian forward has now posted a video of himself back training again

Diaz’s return would give Liverpool a big boost, and the winger did give an update on his return on Monday as he posted a video of himself in the gym.

He completed light exercises in the clip while wearing a brace on his injured left knee.

Reports in the Liverpool Echo suggest Diaz will be back playing by March, meaning he will have been out for five months of the season.

The 26-year-old had previously been expected to return after the World Cup, but was then forced to undergo surgery after aggravating the injury on Liverpool’s mid-season tour of Dubai, ruling him out for a further three months.

Jurgen Klopp’s side face Wolves on Tuesday without several first team forwards

Jurgen Klopp will be hoping Diaz can return as soon as possible, as he is currently missing a number of key forward including Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Roberto Firmino.

It leaves him with just Mohamed Salah and new signing Cody Gakpo available out of the club’s main forwards, as Liverpool prepare for an FA Cup replay against Wolves on Tuesday.

When fit, Diaz has been among the Reds’ best players this season, notching four goals in 12 games across all competitions and bringing energy to a side that has often looked flat.
