Klopp ponders Salah & Nunez pairing as Suarez sends message – Latest Liverpool FC News

In today’s Liverpool news round up, Jurgen Klopp explains the potential of a Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez strike partnership, while Luis Suarez has sent Liverpool’s new Uruguayan forward an encouraging message.

In the closing stages against City, Salah started just behind the ex-Benfica man, and that may be the way to go if Liverpool are to use him and Nunez in central areas. Alisson denied Jarrod Bowen from the spot against West Ham, enhancing his brilliant record as Europe’s best penalty-stopper.
