He’s Been On The Weights – Former Liverpool Man Spots Changes In Reds Star

Diaz returned to the team in Liverpool’s win over Leeds earlier this month following a lengthy injury layoff and has made two more substitute appearances in the last two fixtures.

The Colombian winger’s return has given Liverpool an additional boost for the last month of the season and Warnock feels he has added to the squad’s options of more game-changing players.

He is a fan of Diaz’s ability on the ball and the way he can create chances but he is happy to see the transformation in his body as well.

The former Red pointed out that it is clear that the winger has worked hard on his body and got stronger in order to survive the rigours of the Premier League.

Warnock said on LFC TV after the West Ham game: “You’ve got have players who can single-handedly change a game, he’s that player, he’s got that ability.

“When you think of the other ones and whether they can go and beat two or three players, [Darwin] Nunez, not sure he can do that on his own, [Cody] Gakpo, not sure he can, [Mohamed] Salah can but players are wary of what he is capable of so he gets doubled up on.

“Diaz has just got that ability to drop the shoulder, little bit of skill.

“What I like now is, you see the difference in his shoulders. You can tell he’s been on the weights.

“He knows the physicality of the Premier League means he’s got to be stronger.”

Diaz featured 31 minutes in Liverpool’s win at West Ham and it remains to be seen whether he starts against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
