A dramatic new look that Darwin Nunez has adopted in advance of the Merseyside derby has left Liverpool fans in a state of shock.
During the international break that will take place this month, Nunez has been away with Uruguay, as his national team has been competing in two World Cup qualifying matches.
After suffering a humiliating loss to Argentina by a score of 1-0, Uruguay then played Bolivia to a scoreless draw.
Nunez started the game for his country against Argentina and came on as a substitute in the second half of the match against Bolivia.
Uruguay continues to be in a strong position to secure their spot at the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico. This is despite the fact that they only managed to earn one point in their two World Cup qualifying matches.
Following the conclusion of the 25-year-old’s international obligations, he will return to Liverpool in order to resume the remarkable Premier League campaign that his team is currently undergoing.
Everton, Liverpool’s cross-town rivals, will be their opponent when they return to action on April 2. Prior to this, Liverpool has suffered consecutive defeats in the Champions League matches against Paris Saint-Germain and in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United.
Fans of Liverpool have been taken aback by Nunez’s stunning new hairstyle, which he has displayed in advance of the possibility that he will play for his club team.
It was Nunez’s decision to show off his cornrows on social media, and it was this decision that sparked conversation on social media.
One individual on X wrote: “Preparing for the Premier League pictures that will hit haters hard.”
Someone else made a joke, saying, “More trims than goals.”
A third person mentioned, “Let him cook.”
It has been suggested that Nunez could make a stunning move away from Anfield this summer. This criticism stems from the fact that he has been criticised for his wastefulness in front of the goal this season.
In comparison to his 18 goals scored in the previous season, he has only managed to score seven goals across all competitions.
On occasion, however, the forward has been able to deliver during this season. He scored a stoppage time brace to hand Liverpool a big win over Brentford in January.
On the other hand, Nunez gave away a huge opportunity in the match against Aston Villa, which ended with a score of 2-2.
“I can accept every miss, especially from a player that scored two very important goals against Brentford,” Arne Slot stated in his interview.
It was a little more difficult for me to accept his behaviour after that opportunity had been presented to him. I get the impression that it got to be too much for him to handle, and he wasn’t the typical Darwin who puts in a lot of effort and contributes to the team. It seems to me that he was overly dissatisfied.
