Liverpool have been dealt a huge injury blow ahead of their clash with Chelsea next week, with Darwin Nunez a doubt. The 23-year-old striker has endured a turbulent start to life in the Premier League following his arrival from Benfica in the summer.
Nunez, who penned a six-year deal at Anfield, has featured 23 times for Jurgen Klopp's side this season, directly contributing towards 10 goals. While his overall ability in front of goal has been questioned, the Uruguay international's chaotic behaviour on the pitch, movement and physical presence is a spectacle to behold.
The Reds will be keen to have Nunez available for the blockbuster clash with Chelsea, with both clubs desperate for three points in the race for top-four. In an official statement from Liverpool, the striker has been absent from training due to a 'minor issue'.
