Darwin Nunez ‘is a doubt for Liverpool’s trip to Brighton after missing several training sessions

Darwin Nunez is doubtful for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Brighton on Saturday after missing training this week, according to The times.

The 23-year-old striker has missed several sessions with an unspecified problem and could be out of contention for this weekend’s clash.

Also, Jurgen Klopp could be without Nunes for Liverpool’s FA Cup replay with Wolves at the Molineux on Tuesday.

Darwin Nunez is in doubt for Liverpool’s Premier League clash with Brighton on Saturday

His absence would give the Liverpool manager a selection dilemma, as both Luiz Díaz and Diogo Jota have been ruled out with long-term injuries.

Both players are likely to be out of action until at least March with their respective knee and calf injuries, while Roberto Firmino is also out of the Liverpool scene.

Klopp may be forced to call up his new signing Cody Gakpo. The 23-year-old signed for Liverpool for £44m just after Christmas.

His absence will give manager Jurgen Klopp a selection dilemma ahead of the weekend.

Also, Klopp could be without Nunes (left) for Liverpool’s FA Cup replay on Tuesday.

He signed a five-and-a-half-year contract with PSV and made his debut on the left wing during Liverpool’s 2–2 FA Cup draw with Wolves at Anfield.

However, it was centrally deployed by Louis van Gaal while playing for the Netherlands during the 2022 World Cup.

Therefore, Klopp may be forced to do the same during their Premier League clash at the Amex Stadium on Saturday.

Liverpool are in desperate need of some points as they currently sit sixth in the table, seven points behind last-place Manchester United in the Champions League.
