Darwin Nunez is sitting out the international break due to an ongoing ban and Liverpool need him to be ready when they resume Premier League campaign
New season, new boss, same old story for Darwin Nunez . Having started the previous campaign on the bench for Liverpool, the striker once again found himself among the substitutes for the opening three Premier League games. Matters, of course, aren't quite the same, with Nunez not required to step off the bench to turn the game on its head at Old Trafford last weekend as he was at Newcastle United 12 months previous. But where the 25-year-old is really missing out is with his national team.
Yes, there is an argument the player will benefit from a rest from arduous long-haul travel, particularly having featured heavily in the Copa America this summer. But the forward thrives on rhythm and momentum, and the fortnights spent off the field this month and next will hamper his progress and leave him in danger of being undercooked. And Nunez will have to be ready when the call comes, as it will, from Liverpool in the coming weeks.
