Jurgen Klopp has hinted why he has left Darwin Nunez out of Liverpool’s starting XI in recent weeks.
The Uruguayan came off the bench to score in the 6-1 victory over Leeds United on Monday, but the trip to Elland Road was the third time the striker found himself utilised as a substitute from the Reds’ last four games.
Having missed the March international break with an ankle injury, it had originally been thought that the 23-year-old was being managed carefully following such a setback. But after returning to the starting XI against Chelsea earlier this month, Nunez again found himself on the bench against Arsenal and Leeds.
