Jürgen Klopp confirms thatFabio Carvalho is ready to play a key role for Liverpool this season. As we have already made clear, the Reds Chiefs would never have thought of relying on the former Fulham youngster for just three games in their new Premier League campaign.
But withDarwin Nunez out, Klopp could be forced to do just that in next Monday's clash with Manchester United. Liverpool's new £85m striker has had less than an hour on his Anfield debut,a blatant headbutt against Crystal Palace defender Joachim Anderson was sent off with a disgraceful result.
Nunez's insane moment means Klopp will have to deal without the Uruguayan serve in his next three matches.It's a situation Jamie Carragher has already described as a "nightmare."
On Monday night, the former Reds defender told Sky Sports:
"There is no argument, everyone knows it. None of the Liverpool supporters can challenge Anderson. They boo him in the stadium." But that's what's happening now, that's what supporters do, he'll talk to him, he said he's going to support him.
"He's not there. I don't know how the games are going to be or if there's a cup game in between, but he tries to work with him without games. A lot of the time you can, you have so many matches that you haven't trained properly, but you work with him and you wake him up, but it's a nightmare. An absolute nightmare start for Klopp. A nightmare start for Klopp.I'm almost starting over to try and get him into the team."

In an interview with Carvalho, Klopp said: "Top player. I really love him. He's got great talent and he's a really good kid. I'm really happy to have him. It's very important for us. The same for this age group. Now I don't wait until I'm 22 or 23 to use it.
"No, no, no. He's ready, he's cool, he needs luck in life with injuries and stuff, but without that he's going to be a really important player for us."
