But it was so heartbreaking to see that person crying and lost like that. “He has a lot to offer, but now his confidence has been called into question. I hope the injury is not serious and he finds his form quickly.”It was a difficult time for Diaz. Last October, his father and mother were kidnapped by gunmen on a motorcycle as they left their home in Barrancas. His mother, Silenis Marulanda, was saved after the Colombian Attorney General’s Office formed an investigation team to find the couple. After weeks of uncertainty, the player’s father, Luis Manuel Diaz, was rescued after a shootout between kidnappers and Colombian police.Local media in La Guajira reported that Diaz’s father was released after two of the four kidnappers were killed in a police rescue operation. The former Porto winger has failed to impress since the match against Luton. Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said Diaz looked like a “shadow of himself” as he continued to struggle for form. Carragher said this on the Gary Neville podcast after Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal. “Diaz looked like a shadow of his former self after his knee injury last season. “Obviously he’s had family issues this season but I think Diaz, especially on the left, needs to make a splash in the second half of the season or I’m sure Liverpool will be in the market this summer.”And Jurgen Klopp shared encouraging news about Diaz’s knee after Saturday’s game. Asked if Diaz was injured, the German said: “I hope not. He was hurting and putting his knees together and at that point we wanted to switch twice and Lucho went down.“At first I wanted to wait and see if Luis comes out, but now I don’t have to wait to see how Lucho is and that’s what I did then, so I decided to change all three. “Luis told me it was ‘a bit sore’ and the doctors weren’t too concerned, but we have a match in three days and you never know how fast the recovery will be, so we’ll have to wait and see.” I do not know “.
An emotional Luis Diaz was left in tears after injuring his knee in Saturday’s Premier League win over Arsenal.The 26-year-old Colombian winger, who spent most of last season on the sidelines after knee surgery, may have feared the worst during the hour-long game. Diaz was seen clutching his left knee after the “painful” crash and was quickly replaced by Harvey Elliott.The injury may have brought back memories of the injury that ruled him out for most of the 2022/2023 season. He looked emotional as he sat next to Liverpool team-mate Curtis Jones. “Luis Diaz hasn’t been the same since his last injury,” said the X account
Diaz later scored an extra-time equalizer against Luton in a thrilling return to Liverpool’s first team.
