Darwin Nunez has been removed from Uruguay's squad for upcoming friendlies due to injury, it has been confirmed.
The Liverpool forward participated in the Reds' Champions League defeat by Real Madrid earlier this week, though was replaced during the second half of the match to the frustration of many supporters.
Asked to clarify after the match whether this change was injury-related, Jurgen Klopp responded: “Darwin looked like he was not at the absolute top level as well and we needed to defend that side as well. We could change and we wanted to mix things up a bit.”
