Klopp reveals Darwin feels sorry for the headbutt that will cost him a three-match ban

Liverpool gaffer Jurgen Klopp says he’s held private talks with apologetic Reds striker Darwin Nunez over his red card against Crystal Palace.The Uruguay striker will serve a three-match ban after he was sent off on his Anfield debut for aiming a headbutt at defender Joachim Andersen.Andersen receives death threats, Klopp approves red card for Nunez”We spoke to Darwin. He was very disappointed with himself that it happened,” says Klopp.”The things the centre-half did, he is not the only player in the world who is doing these kinds of things.”It is like it is. If someone makes such a mistake and you tell them they should not do it, they know.”It is about emotions. We never had a situation like this before here, and that is why I am not an expert in these talks because I didn’t need to have it that often.”But it was that obvious he knew anyway. He apologised, which is absolutely fine. It is not necessary to walk him through the building with his head down, miserable stuff like this. It happened. We are human beings.”We have all made mistakes in our life and will make mistakes in our life, you have to carry on. If you don’t do it again then it is all fine. It happened once and it’s all OK.”##EDITORS_CHOICE##The German tactician confirmed that Roberto Firmino is ready to return from injury to lead the line in Nunez’s absence against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday night.Klopp also dismissed reports of Naby Keita being dissatisfied at Liverpool. The Guinea midfielder has entered the final year of his contract, and talks are continuing over an extension.Klopp amazed with early Darwin, Haaland critics”It is really funny when I have to respond on ‘news’ because what you would learn if you were sat on my side of the table is how often 0.0 per cent is behind the ‘news’,” adds Klopp. “No, absolutely nothing. Naby was ill for a week. Last game on the bench, this week fully in training, looks really good, all fine.”ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 2Saturday14.30: (1.42) Tottenham (4.70) Wolverhampton (9.00)17.00: (2.60) Crystal Palace (3.20) Aston Villa (3.00)17.00: (2.00) Everton (3.50) Nott.Forest (4.10)17.00: (2.45) Fulham (3.25) Brentford (2.95)17.00: (1.90) Leicester (3.70) Southampton (4.30)19.30: (8.50) Bournemouth (4.50) Arsenal (1.45)Sunday 16.00: (6.25) Leeds (4.00) Chelsea (1.55)16.00: (2.35) West Ham (3.30) Brighton (3.35)18.30: (8.50) Newcastle (4.50) Man.City (1.40)Monday 22.00: (5.70) Man.Utd.
