How Liverpool's 12 summer departures are faring as Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez send reminders

There has been plenty of attention drawn to some of the players let go by Liverpool in the summer after what has been a tricky week for Arne Slot's side.

Having fallen to a third consecutive defeat at Chelsea at the weekend, pundits have been looking back at the Reds' overhaul during the transfer window, with some suggestions that one or two players are currently being missed as the likes of Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak try to find their feet.

Liverpool offloaded a total of 12 senior players during the summer - eight on permanent deals, with four loan moves, although one of those is set expected to make his deal permanent next year.

With the international break upon us, and attention turning to some of those departures, we've taken a look at how those 12 players have been faring since leaving Liverpool...

Luis Diaz

Luis Diaz has certainly hit the ground running since making the move to Bayern Munich. The Colombian has six goals and four assists from his 10 appearances, helping the Bundesliga giant to a perfect start in all competitions.

The 28-year-old has been earning rave reviews in Germany after scoring twice in a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend, including a goal inside the first 15 seconds of the game.

Darwin Nunez

Darwin Nunez made a bright start after making the move to Saudi Arabia, having joined Al-Hilal. Two goals and an assist is certainly a decent return from his four games for the club so far.

The 26-year-old has been hampered with a knee injury more recently, which has seen him miss the last three games for his club, although he has been named in Uruguay's squad for the October international break.

Jarell Quansah

Although it wasn't the best of starts to the season for Bayer Leverkusen, with Erik ten Hag fired after just two league games, Jarell Quansah has enjoyed a good start to his time in Germany.

The 22-year-old has played every minute of Leverkusen's Bundesliga and Champions League campaign so far, with results improving following Ten Hag's dismissal, and the defender could earn his first England cap during the international break.

Ben Doak

While Bournemouth continues to impress, it has been a fairly quiet start for Ben Doak on the south coast.

The 19-year-old was left on the bench for his first four league games with the Cherries before making his debut in the Carabao Cup defeat to Brentford last month. Since then, he has made two substitute appearances, and grabbed his first assist for his new club in the 3-1 win over Fulham at the weekend.

Caoimhin Kelleher

Caoimhin Kelleher finally realized his dream of becoming a No. 1 goalkeeper in the Premier League when he made the move to Brentford, having been understudy to Alisson Becker for so long.

After a nightmare start to the season for the Bees, it has been a mixed bag for Keith Andrews' side. Kelleher, though, has continued to impress, with his penalty save to deny Bruno Fernandes against Manchester United probably the high point of his season so far.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Certainly the most controversial departure of the summer, it hasn't exactly been a smooth introduction to life at Real Madrid for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

After his side's semi-final exit from the Club World Cup, the Reds' former vice-captain has been in and out of the side, and he currently finds himself on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury on his Champions League debut for the club. That has put his return to Anfield next month under serious doubt.

Tyler Morton

An exit that went somewhat under the radar, Tyler Morton has actually been making quite the name for himself at Lyon - in more ways than one.

The 22-year-old midfielder has started all but one of the French side's league games this season, with his one absence coming courtesy of a suspension after a reckless red card against Stade Rennais, for which Morton ended up issuing an apology on social media.

Nat Phillips

A cult hero during his time at Anfield, Nat Phillips will be aiming to be back in the Premier League next season after joining Championship side West Brom in the summer.

The defender has played every minute for his new club in the league so far, although after an encouraging start to the season, the Baggies have won just one of their last five outings, which has seen them drop out of the play-off places after nine games.

Harvey Elliott

Although Harvey Elliott joined Aston Villa on loan in the summer, it did in essence draw his time at Liverpool to a close, with his new side holding an obligation to buy next summer.

Although there was a feeling among some Reds fans that he should have been afforded more opportunities at Anfield, his chances at his new club have proved equally difficult to come by. He has started just once in the league for Villa, and was left on the bench for recent games against Bologna and Burnley.

Kostas Tsimikas

Having been relegated to third-choice left-back after Milos Kerkez's arrival, Kostas Tsimikas headed out on loan to Roma, where he has made a steady start to life in Italy.

He has three starts under his belt so far, with two of those coming in the Europa League, where he bagged an assist against Nice on his full debut. His recent showing against Lille though did not go well, with the Greek international substituted at half-time after being at fault for the only goal in a 1-0 defeat.

Vitezslav Jaros

You'll no doubt remember Vitezslav Jaros for his unexpected cameo off the bench at Crystal Palace last season. The Czech international joined Ajax on loan in the summer, and has established himself as the Dutch giants' number one keeper under former Liverpool coach John Heitinga.

It has been something of a frustrating start to the season for Ajax though. Although it remains unbeaten in the Eredivise, it has drawn four of its eight games so far, while suffering defeats to Inter Milan and Marseille in the Champions League.

Harvey Davies

Another Liverpool goalkeeper gaining some experience out on loan, Harvey Davies will hope things start to pick up soon during his time at Crawley Town.

The Sussex club finds itself floating just a couple of points off the League Two drop zone, with relegation to non-league a very real worry at the moment. Davies, to his credit, has established himself as the club's No.1 and managed to keep a couple of clean sheets, although a finger injury saw him miss the weekend defeat to Cambridge United.
