Liverpool star Darwin Nunez gives Uruguay injury scare ahead of World Cup 2022

Darwin Nunez had to temporarily leave Uruguay training as he dealt with an injury scare.

Nunez is not a guaranteed starter, such is the quality available to Uruguay, but he is a vital attacking weapon. He is competing with the likes of Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani, two of the nation's stalwarts, for a starting role and will be hoping he shakes off an ankle issue.

The 23-year-old, who has 13 caps for his country, returned to training with the rest of the squad after receiving medical attention, according to the Uruguay newspaper El País. The South Americans made the last eight of the World Cup four years ago, beating Portugal en route, and Nunez wants to defy their underdog status in Qatar.
