Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has disagreed with claims that Darwin Nunez will need to 'bulk up’ and adapt to the physicality of the Premier League.
The Liverpool striker was shown a straight red card during Monday’s draw with Crystal Palace at Anfield for headbutting Joachim Andersen. The pair were locked in a tussle throughout the first hour of the clash, and when Danish defender Andersen confronted Nunez over one particular coming together, the Uruguayan saw red - in more ways than one.
Footage shared on social media after the game showed Palace centre-back Andersen constantly harassing the 23-year-old in what has been described as a classic ‘welcome to the Premier League’ performance, and Nunez’s wild reaction has sparked claims that he needs to adapt to the physicality of the league’s hands-on defenders - but former striker turned pundit Wright disagrees.
