Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has explained Darwin Nunez needs time to settle as the Reds' club record transfer starts on the bench away at newly-promoted Fulham.
Many expected the expensive summer signing to start from the off against the Cottagers, but Klopp clearly had other ideas and explained his thoughts ahead of kick-off in west London. "Darwin needs time to settle and we need to mix it up a bit. Bobby [Roberto Firmino] is a baller. The other two boys have speed. It's about mixing it up - we thought it would be better to start with Bobby today.
"It's all fine. I am really happy - it's really cool. We have to be ready. We feel ready, the pre-season was really good. But we have had too many injuries. We need the boys coming back sooner rather than later."
