Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool stars Luis Diaz and Thiago won’t play against Chelsea on Tuesday night at Stamford Bridge despite returning to training.

“Luis Diaz, no he’s not available but he’s in training,” he told reporters.

“He’s not ready for this game, but as much as we want to have him back, we have to give him time.

“It’s long ago that he had the initial injury, but when he came back to training in Dubai it looked outstanding – until he got injured again.

“We have to make sure that we are patient in that moment.”

“So this week, I wouldn’t say Arsenal is completely out of the picture, but it’s rather unlikely,” he added.

“After that then Luis will be back.

“We had Thiago yesterday in normal team training which is good as well – but he’s not available for tomorrow, of course – so we will see how he reacts.”
