Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip are out for two weeks in another blow for Liverpool ahead of Sunday’s match against Manchester City at Anfield .

Luis Diaz is already expected to be out until after the World Cup following the knee injury he sustained in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.

However, the 25-year-old underwent a scan after the match, which has revealed no surgery will be necessary.

All the three players will be unavailable as Liverpool welcome champions City to Anfield on Sunday, trailing Pep Guardiola’s side by 13 points while holding a game in hand.

Diaz had offered a real threat throughout the first half at the Emirates and he assisted Darwin Nunez, who scored Liverpool’s first equaliser.

He lasted just 42 minutes, though, before being substituted for Roberto Firmino, who went on to score the second equalizer, with Jurgen Klopp admitting the injury was not good after the full-time whistle.
