Jurgen Klopp\u2019s team can qualify for the knockouts with a win in France <\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp to TNT Sports on Diaz: \u201cHe is happy, and thumbs up all the time. It looks good, very very good, but I am not the one to release anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo obviously timing-wise it could not have been better, if it\u2019s today – great but let\u2019s go in this game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another thing marred Liverpool\u2019s draw at Luton, some of the actions of the home supporters:<\/p>\n
Luton have threatened to ban any supporters who are found to have taken part in \u2018tragedy chanting\u2019 during Sunday\u2019s home match against Liverpool.<\/p>\n
The Football Association has asked the club \u2013 and police \u2013 for their observations after taunts indirectly referencing the Hillsborough disaster were heard during the 1-1 draw, while the PA news agency understands Liverpool have also written asking what measures are to be taken.<\/p>\n
Luton issued a statement saying they were \u201csaddened\u201d and \u201cextremely disappointed that a small number of supporters soured the occasion with chants that may be interpreted as being in relation to tragedies that have affected Liverpool FC in the past\u201d.<\/p>\n
