Jürgen Klopp confirmed on Friday that he had doubts about Darwin Núñez for this Sunday’s match against Arsenal in the Premier League, due to his foot injury that he suffered last Wednesday when they beat Chelsea 4-1 to maintain the lead of the tournament.
Before the Arsenal game, the manager said: “He left the stadium with a boot, and it wasn’t a football boot. So nothing was broken, the x-rays are clear, they don’t show a fracture, but he is swollen and we have to see if he can put his foot back in a soccer shoe or not, because we all know that takes time.”
However, the images of Darwin training after the press conference, They alleviated some fears that had arisen in Liverpool.
This then means that the Uruguayan could be emulating a fellow Uruguayan.
The Liverpoolfc.com portal confirmed that “Luis Suárez once borrowed a pair of bigger shoes from a teammate to play with a swollen ankle and overcame the injury to score a free kick for Liverpool.”
Suárez could then act as an inspiration for Darwin, proving that there is always a way to overcome the pain barrier for the Reds. In this way, the Ariguense could play this Sunday with a soccer shoe a few sizes larger than those he normally uses, so as not to feel any of the injury.
Luis Suárez was a special talent, but given the shared nationality and tenacity of the two forwards, it is certainly fair to make some comparisons.
It will be difficult to tell from pictures and videos, but it is certainly worth following Darwin to see if he intends to emulate a former Liverpool fan favourite.
