Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is ruled out for their clash against Newcastle United later this month. The Uruguayan was sent off in the 57th-minute of the Reds’ 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
On his first start at Anfield, a moment of madness saw Nunez headbutt Palace defender Joachim Andersen with the scoreline at 0-1. Moments later, 10-man Liverpool had equalised through Columbian sensation Luiz Diaz.
Newcastle had been linked with the 23-year-old before his £85million move to Liverpool. A stellar campaign for Benfica - where he bagged 26 games in 28 games - saw him become one of the hottest prospects in European football.
