Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has provided a positive update on Luis Diaz ahead of tonight’s FA Cup meeting with Norwich.

The Reds winger started in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Chelsea and gave a superb account of himself.

Diaz was one of Liverpool’s main threats, and he looked capable of creating something every time he got the ball.

Klopp opted to withdraw the Reds January signing in extra time, sparking some concerns amongst fans.

But speaking ahead of the FA Cup fifth-round clash at Anfield, the Liverpool boss said Diaz was suffering from fatigue.

“He did really well,” quoted Klopp as saying. “We need this kind of quality. He did incredibly well.

“Hopefully it’ll stay like this as long as possible. He just had fatigue at Wembley. No injury.”

And on the official Liverpool website, Klopp was quoted as saying: “He had nothing.

“We just took him off because we saw he got tired.

“He was tired earlier but he was still fighting really hard.

“It was an incredibly intense game, I have to say. I’m not sure I saw a final like this.

“Okay, when one team is up then obviously why should it be intense when one team is managing the game and the other one is chasing it.

“In this game both teams were going for it. The intensity was absolutely insane.”

Diaz has done superbly since joining Liverpool in January for an .

He honestly looks like he’s been at Anfield for years, not weeks.

Needless to say, it’ll be exciting to see how he fares at Liverpool once he’s fully acclimatised to Klopp’s playing style and the Premier League.
