Impact The Reds were down at halftime but scored three goals in the second half to secure the win over LASK, and Nunez netted perhaps the most important one after equalizing via a penalty in the 56th minute. The towering forward could've had at least one more goal, but the LASK goalkeeper was magnificent to deny him time and time again. Nunez has started in just three of his seven matches across all competitions in 2023/24 but has three goals and two assists to his name.

Bench option Saturday Nunez is available for Saturday's match versus Wolverhampton.
Impact Nunez picked up an ailment while with Uruguay but won't need to miss time because of it, although he's not making the XI. Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo form the frontline. He has posted two goals, one assist, nine shots (two on target), and one chance in four appearances so far (one start).

Impact This is a positive update from Klopp, but he's simply giving this based off what Nunez told him. Given the options Liverpool have, it probably wouldn't be smart to push Nunez back with one day of training in him following some questions about a muscular issue with the national team. If he doesn't start, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo are options to return to the XI up top.

Impact It's unclear what exactly Bielsa means by muscular difficulties, but it was enough to take Nunez off the pitch Tuesday. There's a chance this isn't anything or it'll be enough to keep him on the bench Saturday against Wolverhampton with Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo both keen on returning to the starting XI.

Purple patch continues Darwin Nunez assisted once to go with five shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Impact Nunez got on the scoresheet with an assist Sunday and another assist in FPL as he shot off the bar and was deemed the cause of an own goal. Nunez is up to four goal contributions in 106 minutes on the pitch and is in the type of form that could establish him as the top option in the Liverpool attack.

Darwin Nunez's Newcastle-Liverpool performance was his DEFINING moment! - Ale Moreno | ESPN FC

Nets heroic brace Darwin Nunez scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.
Impact Nunez came off the bench for the final 13 minutes and scored a heroic brace to earn all three points. The striker has struggled for first team minutes in 2023, but this type of performance could earn him a more substantial role moving forward. Nunez and the rest of the Liverpool attack should see plenty of rotation with a plethora of options in every position.

Starts friendly Wednesday Nunez (toe) will feature in the starting XI versus Karlsruher on Wednesday.
Impact Nunez was out of action for the last three matches of the 2022-23 campaign due to his toe issue but appears to be on track for the season opener versus Chelsea on Aug. 13. Prior to getting hurt, the forward started just two of his previous seven appearances, registering one goal on six shots (two on target, two crosses (zero accurate) and four chances created.

Ends season injured Nunez missed the final three matches of the season with a toe injury after making 29 appearances in league play.
Impact It was a bit of an up-and-down campaign for Nunez, as he struggled for consistent minutes the final couple months even when healthy. Early on, he was known for taking tons of shots, but those eventually led to goals, as he had seven goals in a nine-match period across league and UCL play in October. With Mohamed Salah still around, consistent minutes are still a concern at the other two forward spots for Liverpool and for now, Nunez seems to be behind Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz on the depth chart when all are healthy.

Misses out on season finale Nunez is not in the match day squad to face Southampton on Sunday.
Impact Nunez misses out on Sunday's match as he was unable to recover from a toe injury in time to face Southampton. Roberto Firmino leads the line in his final match with the club alongside Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah in the front three with Nunez out.

Expected to be option Sunday Nunez (toe) returned to training and is expected to be available for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact Nunez has missed the last two matches, but he should again be an option Sunday. It's hard to see him starting at less than 100 percent and there's a chance he doesn't even come off the bench if available. That said, he's played in every match this season in which he was available, so he figures to get minutes at some point in his first season with the Reds.

Pictured in training Nunez (toe) was pictured in training Tuesday ahead of Sunday's finale against Southampton.
Impact As of Wednesday morning, Liverpool still have a slight chance to reach fourth in the table, but it's extremely unlikely. Nunez has missed the last couple games with a toe injury and won't be pushed unless he's healthy and there's no chance of making the issue worse. At best, he'll probably come off the bench in Sunday's finale, especially with it being Roberto Firmino's goodbye.

Will remain out Saturday Nunez will remain out for Saturday's match against Aston Villa because of a toe injury, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.
Impact Nunez was a surprise absence last match and it suddenly looks like an injury that could keep him out the rest of the season. He was on back-to-back starts prior to this injury, so it's a blow for him having struggled since the World Cup. Fortunately for the Reds, every other forward is available to play, including Roberto Firmino who returned to training this week.

Sidelined with toe injury Nunez will not be available against Leicester City on Monday due to a toe injury, James Pearce of The Athletic reports.
Impact Nunez has started two consecutive contests after having come off the bench in the previous five outings. The forward has scored just once on 12 shots (eight on target) in his previous 11 contests. Even once cleared to play, Nunez is far from a lock to start given the team's offensive options. In Nunez's stead, Luis Diaz will feature in the starting XI.
