Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Darwin Nunez being "fresh" was a prime reason behind the striker being thrust straight back into the Liverpool starting XI at the expense of the firing Roberto Firmino.
The Uruguayan striker was able to make his return against Everton on Saturday afternoon after serving his three-match ban for a headbutt on Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen on just his second Premier League appearance.
Brazilian forward Firmino stepped into the breach perfectly in Nunez’s absence having scored twice and notched three assists in the 9-0 win against Bournemouth, whilst he was also on the scoresheet in the last-gasp victory over Newcastle United.
