With Liverpool’s sole shining light during the harrowing 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid – beyond the efforts of Stefan Bajcetic – to be found in the forward line, suggestions that Darwin Nunez could be out of action are a little concerning.
Rumours have sprung up on social media that the Reds could now be without their summer signing for the trip to Selhurst Park.
Jurgen Klopp’s men do have significant firepower in reserve, it has to be said, with Diogo Jota and Bobby Firmino having made returns from injury.
That being said, we’d highly doubt the German tactician will be enthused with the prospect of rushing back either option for our upcoming clash with Crystal Palace.
We can only hope that such rumours are purely fictional at best and that, at worst, any absence from the first-XI is purely precautionary.

If Nunez is out. I can not understand that every week there is some sort of injury. It’s a joke it really is. If it’s the shoulder then I don’t understand has he was ok for Madrid. Just constantly injuries. They said Konate was out for 3 weeks. That was over 4 weeks ago. Joke

If Nunez is out today, lfc journalists need to do better. Klopp literally said changes will take place because of knocks in the Madrid game and they didn’t bother to follow up and ask him who was injured/ any new injury news. Constantly just waiting for a more interesting quote. https://t.co/EVzE3Lk6lv
