Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez and his partner have released a new family update.

On Thursday, a joint Instagram post between the couple confirmed the healthy arrival of baby girl Isabella, writing: "Our dream girl!" They revealed the date of birth to have been much earlier this month on February 7, one day after Nunez started Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg triumph over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield and only two days before he played 33 minutes as a substitute in the FA Cup elimination at Plymouth Argyle.

The Uruguayan No.9 met Spanish internet personality Manas, also 25, whilst playing for Almeria in 2019.
