Luis Díaz sinks the accelerator

Luis Díaz does not stop with his recovery and lives the last days of rehabilitation and strengthening of his left knee. The Colombian was injured in October last year, but during the World Cup break and while he was training with Liverpool in Dubai, things got worse and he had to go under the knife. Today, almost three months after the operation, his return is approaching.

The winger works double shifts at Liverpool’s training ground and at home, He is in physical reconditioning and the return to practice with his teammates is a matter of a week. According to Jürgen Klopp, Díaz would be on par with the squad on Monday, March 13. For this reason, his presence at the Santiago Bernabéu for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 is ruled out. The Reds are losing the series 2-5 with Real Madrid.

From March 6 to 10, Lucho will have his last solo sessions, both in the gym and on the playing field. Then there will be a match against Bournemouth and at the beginning of the following week he will jump without problems to train alongside Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson, Mohamed Salah and the other stars of the team.

Liverpool: “Luis Díaz makes his way”

This Friday, while the players prepare to receive Manchester United for the Premier League, the Liverpool communications team focused on accompanying Díaz in his gym training. “Number 23 worked under the supervision of the medical team as he made his way towards a return to action,” the club’s website published. In the images you can see the Colombian exercising with medicine balls, treadmills, stationary bike and doing high impact movements.

Given all the conditions expected by Díaz and Liverpool, the striker could reappear in the first or second game of April against Manchester City or Chelsea, both from the Premier League. Klopp’s intention is for Lucho to be decisive in the last 9 or 10 games of the season.
