Heartbreaking news has been announced this Morning for Darwin Nunez after he was not included in the lineup against Wolves. He is set to miss Liverpool’s match for the rest of the month😥 He doesn’t deserve this! 😢

Darwin Núñez will miss Liverpool’s upcoming Premier League match against Wolves on Saturday evening.

Liverpool’s director of editorial content, James Carroll, confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that Núñez is unavailable due to illness.

In more positive news, Alisson Becker is back in the starting lineup, as anticipated following Arne Slot’s pre-match conference.

Liverpool has a chance to top the Premier League table if they win at Molineux, taking advantage of Manchester City’s earlier 1-1 draw against Newcastle United.

Núñez has been productive this season, tallying two goals or assists in six appearances across all competitions.

The team’s ability to perform without their key striker highlights the impressive depth in their forward options.

Though it’s unfortunate that the Uruguayan forward won’t continue his goal involvement streak, Diogo Jota will have a great chance to shine.

With the October international break nearing, after their match against Crystal Palace, Jota has an opportunity to find form and start one of his usual scoring runs.

Wolves will face a tough test against Liverpool, with Jota—formerly of Wolves—seeking to add to his two Premier League goal contributions this season. He’s been involved in a goal every 103.5 minutes, maintaining solid stats despite modest numbers.

Wolves, led by Gary O’Neil, currently languish near the bottom of the Premier League, having conceded 14 goals, the second-highest in the league after Everton (15).

Although O’Neil will aim for a strong home performance, Liverpool will likely look to exploit Wolves’ defensive weaknesses, as they concede an average of 2.8 goals per game.
