Liverpool are weighing up whether to register injured attacker Luis Diaz for the Champions League.

The Liverpool Echo says the Reds left Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita out of their Champions League squad for the first half of the season because of injury, though both returned to training before the end of the group-stages. As a result, it's plausible that manager Jurgen Klopp could take a similar decision regarding Diaz, depending on how well his recovery is going behind the scenes.

“Diogo (Jota), Bobby (Firmino) and Virgil (van Dijk), a couple of weeks before they can join training and then we have to see how quickly it goes from there," Klopp told reporters when offering his latest injury update at his pre-match press conference ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup trip to Brighton last week. “It will take another couple of weeks, I think.

“Luis (Diaz) takes longer. He (Arthur Melo) is pretty good. He is running a lot. For him as well, two or three weeks maybe until he can join team training. But it looks good, for a while already. After a long injury he needs a proper build-up. He was not part of team training."

If Diaz is included in Liverpool's squad, it can be assumed his recovery is going well enough to take part in the Champions League again this season and he's potentially on track to feature in Madrid.
