Liverpool injury nightmare deepens with Darwin Nunez ‘fighting to be fit’ for Brighton | Football | Sport

Despite coming under heavy criticism for wasting a number of opportunities, Nunez has already bagged 10 goals this season. Speaking last month, Klopp admitted that he had no issues with Nunez misfiring in front of goal and made a comparison to Robert Lewandowski.

“There are a lot of similarities to be honest,” Klopp said. “I think Lewy would tell the same story. We had shooting sessions where he didn’t finish off one.

“We had bets all the time for €10 — ‘If you score more than 10 times, I will pay you 10, if you don’t, you have to pay me.’ My pocket was full of money! It’s all about staying calm. When you see the potential, stay calm.”
