The Uruguayan’s availability for the upcoming Premier League encounter against Arsenal remains in doubt due to a foot injury sustained during the 4-1 triumph over Chelsea. The injury occurred early in the game when his foot was inadvertently stepped on, resulting in significant bruising.
“I don’t know if Darwin will be available or not,” Klopp informed reporters. “After 20 minutes someone stepped on his foot. It was very painful. He only took his boot off after the game because he didn’t want to see it before. He knew there was something (wrong).”
“Nothing broken, X-ray clear, but it’s swollen. We have to see if he can get his foot back into a boot or not. That takes time.”
Nunez was seen leaving Anfield with a protective boot, and subsequent scans revealed extensive bruising without any fractures. Given the absence of fractures, if the swelling diminishes significantly, Klopp might consider including him since the match holds significant importance in the title race.
Against Chelsea, Nunez endured a frustrating Premier League outing, hitting the woodwork four times, marking an unwanted record in the league since the 2003/04 season for the most woodwork hits by a single player in a match.
