Jurgen Klopp explains why he's dropped both Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez for Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that Darwin Nunez has been dropped for Liverpool's game against Brighton because the Uruguayan picked up a knock on international duty.

The Reds return to Premier League action for the first time in just under a month as they take on the Seagulls, who have also not played since the first weekend of September. Liverpool were scheduled to take on Wolves but the game was postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, before their trip to Chelsea was also called off because of policing concerns ahead of the funeral.

Ahead of the game against Brighton, Klopp has made three changes from the goalless draw with Everton as Thiago, Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson replaces Nunez, Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott in the starting XI. Fabio Carvalho has kept his place in the side, while Andy Robertson is still unavailable after picking up an injury before the break.
