The Uruguayan striker suffered a minor injury during training before the match against Brighton.
Entering the 20th round of the Premier League, Liverpool will have to face an uncomfortable opponent, Brighton. Both teams are closely following each other on the English Premier League standings at 7th and 8th, respectively, so the outcome of the match will leave either one behind.
It is worth mentioning that before this difficult trip, Liverpool suddenly received bad news from the case of Darwin Nunez. Specifically, the Independent reported that the Uruguayan striker had missed a few previous training sessions with his teammates because of an unspecified minor injury.
Of course, this does not mean that Nunez will miss the next game, but it could affect his performance on the field. Coach Jurgen Klopp of course does not want his student to encounter anything, because the list of “sick soldiers” on Liverpool’s attack is inherently too crowded.
The most awaited signing of their winter transfer window – Cody Gakpo has not had a great performance on his debut before. So, the appearance of Nunez is still extremely important at this point.
Currently, Liverpool’s injury list has become very long after the case of Virgil van Dijk . Before that, in turn, big stars like Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz or Roberto Firmino could not play, more importantly, all of these names were in the striker position.
Darwin Nunez is not in great form in his first season at Liverpool, when the “potential” of missing his chances is a huge headache for the team. But don’t forget the Uruguayan striker is still just a rookie, and he can absolutely shine if he continues to play.
