Jurgen Klopp includes new £37.5m signing Luis Diaz in his Liverpool squad for FA Cup tie against Cardiff at Anfield... just 48 hours after the Colombian arrived at the Reds' training base for the first time

Jurgen Klopp has included Luis Diaz in his squad for Liverpool's FA Cup clash with Cardiff just 48 hours after the Colombian arrived in Merseyside following his January transfer.

Diaz, who Liverpool signed from Porto on deadline day for an initial £37.5million, only arrived on Merseyside at 10am on Friday after waiting for work permit forms in Paris. He started the week in Argentina, where he played in Colombia’s 1-0 defeat.

It has been a hectic time for the 25-year-old, who only met Klopp in person for the first time on Friday.
