Sander Westerveld has detailed how Liverpool are working ‘tactically and physically’ on Darwin Nunez as the Uruguayan attempts to get up to speed with Premier League football - adding that, at this moment in time, the 23-year-old is best equipped to come off the bench and impact games late on.
Liverpool signed Nunez for an initial £64million this summer but he has endured a mixed start to life on Merseyside. He scored on his debut, in the win over Manchester City in the Community Shield, and on his first Premier League appearance, in the opening-day 2-2 draw at Fulham, before being sent off for headbutting Joachim Andersen, in the 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace.
Nunez started the 0-0 Merseyside derby draw at Everton after returning from suspension but has since been restricted to substitute appearances in the Champions League defeat at Napoli and win over Ajax.
