Seleccion Uruguaya @ Twitter

The 23-year-old has been included in the 26-man 

. This is likely to be the last World Cup for the former Red who will turn 36 years old next summer and plays for his first professional club 

The two forwards have a close relationship, with Suarez giving Nunez 

'The boy's an incredible package': Klopp praises Nunez's 'big steps' at Liverpool

. "And still space for improvement because the boy’s an incredible package.

"You could see immediately he is a real threat in the finishing area. Involved in a lot of things.

"You then realise a few big chances he missed, imagine he would have scored from them as well. He’s involved in pretty much everything. He’s always an option to pass to or cross the ball to.

"He came on, didn’t play extremely long but involved in both goals. It’s good, it’s big steps."

Darwin's start at Anfield was turbulent: after scoring in the Community Shield and his first Premier League, he got sent off in his second game for headbutting a Crystal Palace player.

Since then, the Uruguayan has played regularly and has a decent goalscoring record, seven goals in 15 games across all competitions.

'He's had a good start bar the red card': Liverpool fans maintain faith in Darwin Nunez

 with many British pundits criticising the Uruguayan.

 supporters believe that the 23-year-old has turned out to be a positive addition to the squad despite his early struggles.

Mundaneinanities (via /r/LiverpoolFC): "He's had a good start bar the red card. For his age and the jump in leagues, he's been a good signing. Maybe not 'greatest signing ever!' levels of good, but an absolute positive addition. And I only expect him to get better."

AlternativeTurnip307: "If he wasn't signed in the same window as 

, we'd be hearing about him being one of the best signings along with a few of 

's additions but since the robot has been insane it overshadows any other transfers."

JasonTodd123456: "Totally different player to 

, but going through a similar settling in. In his first and half seasons at Liverpool, Suarez used to just shoot, shoot, shoot. Missed constantly. Used to say he was a scorer of great goals, but not a great goal scorer. Then bang, world class."

 intended to start him week in week out initially but with injuries to 

 he's got no other option to play him. As we've seen in the past, some players take time to adapt to his style and the league."

jod1991: "Just shows what some good coaching and the right attitude can do when the talent is there. And Nunez absolutely clearly has all the ingredients and I get the impression he grafts in training."

. He's not super clinical but if the team starts performing he will be on the end of so many chances that the goals will come, which is exactly like Salah. Even during his insane first season he was missing lots of chances that a more clinical forward would have scored. But he only got those chances because of his speed on and off the ball."

He already got confidence and is strong 🤷‍♂️. Wouldn't be as good as he is if he wasn't confident. Creates more chances for us alone than the rest of the team together

Christian.

maybe he will gain some confidence and come back strong if he does well in the world  cup
