Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold says the players are happy with the return of Luis Diaz.

Diaz has joined full-scale training this week after being out since October.

"He's a top player, a top lad," said Alexander-Arnold, speaking to Liverpoolfc.com. "It's been a tough season for him to see him out so much. But he's back, he's back smiling, he's enjoying his football, so that's all you can ask (for).

"With a player like that, he brings enthusiasm to the team and brings a spark that not many players have. It's exciting to have him back."

Liverpool go to Manchester City on Saturday in a crucial game for both teams.

And Alexander-Arnold added: "I think [if] we get three big results and it's game-on really, and hopefully the season pushes on to be a good one. These three results can define the season if we let it and if we want it to.

"We want to go out there and win all three games and that's our plan. I think as a team we've probably lacked that confidence at times during the season. But to go and get big results against big teams will instil that confidence back within us.

"We're excited as a team, we're looking fresh, good in training and we're excited. It's going to be a big week and then hopefully a big end to the season for us."
