Champions League: Darwin Núñez suffers a shoulder strain but will reach Real Madrid

The victory (0-2) of Liverpool in Newcastle only had a setback for the ‘reds’. Darwin Núñez fell badly in a set with Trippier and put his hand to his shoulder, being replaced in the 60th minute as a precaution by Klopp.

“The bad news is that Darwin has something on his shoulder. That’s why I changed him. I don’t know at this time. We need further evaluation. We only know that it hurts, but we hope it’s that and nothing more.” said the German coach at St James’ Park.

24 hours later, MARCA has learned that Darwin is suffering from a strained ligament in his right shoulder… but it will come to the clash at Anfield against Real Madrid on Tuesday. The Uruguayan ‘9’ was treated throughout Sunday and will rush to be in this key match.
