Liverpool given major Luis Diaz injury 'boost' for Leeds United clash

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed his side will have Luis Diaz available for their Premier League clash with Leeds United.

Javi Gracia will be hoping his side can shake off the disappointment from the second-half implosion against Crystal Palace and muster a much-improved performance against Liverpool. Having dominated the match before the break, the Eagles scored four without reply after the restart as the Whites lost 5-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Klopp's side meanwhile battled back from two goals down against league leaders Arsenal to claim a point against Mikel Arteta's squad at Anfield. Goals from Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino ensured that the Reds had something to show from the game.

And having being ruled out of action since mid-October, Klopp is hopeful that Diaz will now be available for Liverpool's trip to West Yorkshire.

"Luis will be back in full and normal team training and available for the game [against Leeds]," he said after the Arsenal match. "So these things are really, really good news."

Elsewhere, Thiago Alcantara will also be available for selection after he came on as a substitute against the Gunners. Naby Ketia was spotted on the training ground last week, but his involvement is still a major doubt.

Long-term injuries Stefan Bajcetic and Calvin Ramsay are both ruled out for the rest of the season and will therefore miss the game on Monday night. Aside from that, Klopp will have a full squad to choose from when selecting his starting XI to take on Leeds under the lights at Elland Road.
