Joel Matip has admitted he is 'relieved' to see Darwin Nunez in a Liverpool shirt after he made the big-money switch to the club from Benfica last month.
The 22-year-old joined the Reds for a fee that could rise to around £85m, after he scored 34 goals in 41 appearances for the Portuguese side in all competitions last season. Nunez then made his unofficial debut for Liverpool in their pre-season friendly defeat to Manchester United on Tuesday in Bangkok.
Matip played against the Uruguayan in the Champions League quarter-final back in April, with Nunez scoring in both legs as Liverpool progressed into the semi-final. Nunez caused the Reds back-four havoc across the two matches, however, constantly making runs in behind and posing a threat.
