LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Jurgen Klopp says “there is a chance” that Darwin Nunez will be fit enough to join in Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
The Uruguayan striker was taken off forcefully just before the hour mark in the Reds’ last Premier League outing against Newcastle.
Fear rises that the energetic forward could be ruled out for some time with a muscle injury but Klopp has hinted at the 23-year-old figuring in his plans for a round of 16 first-leg encounter with Real at Anfield.
According to Klopp he says: “There is a chance. We have to see how he is today. When we know that we will make a decision.”
Liverpool will be seeking revenge of sorts when finding themselves reunited with Real, with the Liga heavyweights having dashed their Champions League dreams in the 2022 final. Vinicius Junior netted the only goal of that game.
