Liverpool fullback Kostas Tsimikas says Luis Diaz's return has lifted all the players.

Diaz could see action on Monday against Leeds.

Speaking ahead of Monday's encounter, Tsimikas told liverpool.com: “Yeah, of course, we were so sad about Luis when he got injured again in Dubai.

"It was very hard for us because as a team we want him, we want his skills.

“He improved all the time with his personality all the time he played. When I played with him, because we play on the same [side of the pitch], he's an unbelievable player and always helped me. And I help him also.

“Of course I'm very happy for this game, hopefully he plays and hopefully will be in a good shape and he can show us a little bit of the magic he showed us before he got injured."
