An insight into when Liverpool fans could see Luis Diaz make his debut for their club has been provided.
Liverpool, of course, tied the Colombian star to a deal until 2027 at the end of the January transfer window.
The Reds are believed to have paid an initial €40m for Diaz, followed by a potential extra €20m in add-ons.

The winger has been on international duty this week with Colombia, but with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah still away at the African Cup of Nations, the Reds remain somewhat lacking in quality up top and could probably do with his presence this weekend.
And, though Klopp didn’t seem to suggest that it was nailed, the German did not rule out the possibility of giving Diaz a runout this weekend vs Cardiff: “I wouldn’t say no because I would be excited as well about giving him a few minutes at a sold-out Anfield.”

Liverpool vs Cardiff
Liverpool will face off with Cardiff in an FA Cup match on Sunday at 12 pm UK time.
Liverpool head into the game looking to join Middlesbrough and Saturday’s winners in the 5th round.
The Merseysiders are favourites, but a cup upset cannot be ruled out if Klopp opts to field a weaker side.
