Jordan Henderson has raved about Luis Diaz, claiming the Colombian is one of the best players in the world.
Liverpool’s captain has opened up on his teammate’s role at Anfield when speaking to the club’s official website.
Since joining the Reds, Diaz has established himself as a key player in Jurgen Klopp’s squad. Henderson has now admitted it was “disappointing” to see him out of action due to fitness issues.
“In the World Cup you want the best players in the world, and Luis Diaz is certainly one of them,” the midfielder said.
“He has lit up the Premier League since he came and it was a disappointing moment when he got an injury for us.”
