Liverpool handed double injury boost as squad left in stitches by Arthur Melo

Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez train as Liverpool get triple injury boost for Man City

Luis Diaz is in contention for a first Liverpool appearance in nearly six months at Manchester City on Saturday after returning to full team training.

The Colombia international stepped up his rehabilitation significantly during the international break by working with the club's academy players ahead of comeback to first-team action.

Diaz was part of the senior group that was pictured training on Thursday afternoon at the AXA Centre as Jurgen Klopp put his players through their paces ahead of Saturday lunchtime's visit to the Etihad.

Darwin Nunez was also cleared to return after he missed Uruguay's fixtures over the international break with an ankle complaint. The striker withdrew for the matches with Japan and South Korea but is in training with his club-mates once more.
