(Reuters) - Liverpool forward Luis Diaz
is expected to be out of action until late December after picking up
a knee injury in the first half of Sunday's 3-2 Premier League
defeat at leaders Arsenal, British media reported on Monday.
The 25-year-old Colombia international does not need surgery but
will likely miss 10 matches in Liverpool's packed schedule ahead of
the World Cup, which starts on Nov. 20.
The Reds will hope to have Diaz back for their visit to Aston Villa
on Dec. 26 in their first match after the World Cup, which Colombia
have not qualified for.
Liverpool's England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold also sustained
ankle damage in Sunday's match and manager Juergen Klopp said after
the match that both injuries did not look good.
"Lucho (Diaz) we had to change before (halftime). (It's) something
with the knee, not good," he said.

Diaz has made 12 appearances in all competitions so
far this season, scoring four goals with three assists.
Liverpool have struggled this season and are 10th in the table with
10 points after eight matches. They travel to Rangers in Group A of
the Champions League on Wednesday.
