Initially, the winger was scheduled to return from a knee injury following the World Cup. Despite this, a setback occurred at the Reds’ training camp in Dubai, necessitating surgery. Since Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat on October 10, he has not played. Diaz has played an essential role for Liverpool this season, scoring four goals in 12 appearances before his injury. On January 30 2022, Diaz signed a five-year contract with Premier League club Liverpool for €45 million with €15 million add-ons. Before signing for Liverpool, Diaz was interested in Tottenham Hotspur. Upon learning of Tottenham’s bid, Liverpool changed their summer plans and signed Diaz on a permanent deal. Diaz impressed Liverpool’s manager Jürgen Klopp.
It has been a joyous reception for Diaz’s highly anticipated return to action, with many fans leaving thoughtful comments in the tweet.
