Darwin Nunez faces a race against time to be fit for Liverpool's trip to Brighton on Saturday, with the Uruguayan potentially becoming the fourth senior forward unavailable to Jurgen Klopp.
If he's absent, the former Benfica man will join forwards Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino on the sidelines, with Klopp confirming that the Brazilian had suffered a setback in his own recovery. On Saturday's opponents he added: "Brighton deserve respect. I don't think anyone underestimates them anymore but who would have thought their possession stats would increase after Graham Potter [left].Meanwhile, former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra feels that it is just a matter of time before Nunez is regarded in the same bracket as Manchester City's Erling Haaland, adding that "people will be scared" of Uruguayan.
"If you look, people talk more about Nunez and when you have this, it's always going to affect the team. You've got to give the lad a break. It's his first season, talk about somebody else.
