Darwin Nunez, who netted the decisive goal in Liverpool's last visit to Nottingham Forest, will be absent for the Reds' upcoming fixture at the City Ground.

The Uruguayan striker has had a challenging season under Arne Slot, with just four goals from 26 outings.

Despite starting 14 matches, he initially found himself behind Diogo Jota and has recently seen Luis Diaz preferred as a central attacking force.



Despite the speculation about his future, he won't be featuring for the Reds in their match against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.

Nunez is serving a suspension for the game at the City Ground after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in the Premier League during the clash with Manchester United.

He's been active in domestic cup games, playing against Tottenham Hotspur and Accrington Stanley, but with league duties resuming in the East Midlands, he'll be absent from the action before being back in contention for the trip to Brentford on Saturday.

The Reds are also without Joe Gomez, who's still recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in the game against West Ham United last month.

In the run-up to the Forest game, head coach Slot has confirmed that Gomez is still some way off returning.

"Quite far (away).

"And Darwin is suspended, so those are the two we will miss (Forest)."

Slot is likely to restore his firstt choice attacking trio for the game at the City Ground with Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo likely to return.
