Liverpool manager Arne Slot has assured that Darwin Nunez will soon have opportunities to play, emphasising the club’s busy schedule. Slot noted, “We play a lot of games. He’s fitter and fitter now.” However, he also highlighted the competition within the squad, particularly from Diogo Jota, who has been performing well recently.
Competition for Forward Position
Slot acknowledged the strong performances of Diogo Jota, stating, “He’s in competition with Diogo Jota who in our and my opinion, has done really well in the last games.” This indicates that while Nunez is improving in fitness, he faces stiff competition for a starting spot.
