Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp has said the game against Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday, April 9, has come too soon for Luis Diaz.
He, however, confirmed he is back in training and assured fans that midfielder, Thiago Alcantara and defender, Virgil van Dijk, are fit for the game.
Klopp made these known while giving his team’s injury updates ahead of the crucial clash against Arsenal.
The Reds welcome the Premier League leaders seeking to close the seven-point gap between them and Manchester United in fourth place.

Arteta’s men, on the other hand, will be hoping to maintain their 8 points lead over their main challenger and league champions, Manchester City.
Klopp ahead of the encounter confirmed the availability of Van Dijk, who missed the midweek 0-0 draw against Chelsea.
He also said Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara, who have been absent because of injuries, are back in training.
“Virgil is back in training. Luis and Thiago are training. The plan with Luis is he will be available 100 per cent for Leeds. It was a long injury, so we will have to be careful. We will probably not involve him on Sunday.
“Thiago is slightly different. He’s trained three times and might be available,” Klopp told the media on Friday.
