Jurgen Klopp has said he is “optimistic” about what Darwin Nunez is going to bring to Liverpool in the future.
Nunez, who joined from Benfica in a deal worth up to £85million in the summer, hasn’t started a Premier League game for Liverpool since mid-August when he was sent off for a headbutt on Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen.
The big Uruguayan striker did start Tuesday’s Champions League win over Rangers though and was partnered by Diogo Jota as Jurgen Klopp adjusted his team’s approach from their usual 4-3-3 into a variation of a 4-2-3-1/4-4-2.
