Scores before injury Darwin Nunez was subbed off due to injury in the 59th minute of Saturday's 2-0 victory over Newcastle United. He scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) and one cross (z...

Impact Nunez came off with a shoulder injury and seemed to be in major discomfort after opening the scoring Saturday. Manager Jurgen Klopp spoke on the injury after the match, "In the end, he had to go off with a shoulder issue. We need further assessment; I don't know in the moment. In the moment is it painful, but hopefully it's just painful and not more." At the very least Nunez is a doubt for a Tuesday clash with Real Madrid.

Records assist against Everton Nunez took five shots (one on target) and assisted a goal in Monday's 2-0 victory against Everton.

Impact Nunez grabbed his first goal involvement in the Premier League since before the World Cup as he set up Mohamed Salah's opener in the Merseyside derby on Monday. Across his five league starts since the break, he's put up a combined 26 shots (10 on target) and six chances created, but Liverpool had been riding a three-game scoreless drought as a team before this Everton match.

Five shots Saturday Darwin Nunez recorded five shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 defeat against Wolverhampton.

Impact Nunez did everything in his power to try and break the deadlock Saturday, but was unable to do so, coming away with five shots and nothing to show for it. The striker creates trouble on the pitch but has struggled for finishing touch in a Liverpool team that has struggled across the board. Nunez and Liverpool will hope to bounce back and close the season out on a strong note.

Ramping up minutes Nunez has featured off the bench in Liverpool's last two matches, including Saturday's FA Cup contest against Brighton.

Impact Nunez looks to be removed from his injury and should be in play to start as soon as the Feb. 4 contest against Wolverhampton. While there's more competition for minutes after the addition of Cody Gakpo, it seems like Nunez probably has the leg up when fit, though once Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino are back, there will be more competition for minutes.

Klopp grateful for small step after Liverpool-Chelsea draw

Bench option versus Chelsea Nunez (undisclosed) will begin as a sub in Saturday's match against Chelsa.

Impact Nunez is good to go after missing the previous game, but he won't get the start. Cody Gakpo and Harvey Elliott are joining Mohamed Salah in the frontline. He has posted 16 shots (seven on target), three chances created, and two inaccurate crosses in the last three matches.

Will Darwin Nunez play against Chelsea after injury? Jurgen Klopp has spoken on the fitness of Darwin Nunez ahead of Liverpool’s key clash with Chelsea.

Available against Chelsea Nunez (undisclosed) is expected to be available for selection against Chelsea on Saturday, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Nunez figures to be an option to start Saturday, as he's been training and hasn't missed a ton of time. If that's the case, a full 90 seems unlikely, though it's hard to guess how fit he is. The hope is that they can figure things out in the attack, as it looks like Cody Gakpo will need time to acclimate to a better league and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain wasn't expected to see this many starts (four straight) this season.

Expected to train late in week Nunez (undisclosed) could return to training Wednesday or Thursday, manager Jurgen Klopp revealed after Tuesday's Cup win. "I hope that Darwin is coming back in training tomorrow o...

Impact If Nunez can get a day or two of full training in, he should be an option for the starting XI against Chelsea on Saturday. If not, Klopp will either again have to turn to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or do something different with his group, possibly looking to Harvey Elliott or Fabio Carvalho. For now, it's fingers crossed on Nunez's training status later in the week.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Very close to return Nunez (undisclosed) is "very close" to a return but remains a doubt for Tuesday's Cup replay, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

Impact Nunez didn't train last week, but it looks like that'll change in the coming days even if he doesn't feature Tuesday. He'll get a few days after that game to return to the pitch and if all is well, he'll be back in the starting XI against Chelsea on Saturday, likely taking the spot of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Unavailable Saturday Nunez is not in the match day squad to face Brighton on Saturday.

Impact Nunez misses out on Saturday's clash as he continues to recover from an undisclosed injury. The forward has scored five goals in 13 appearances since his Summer move from Benfica, with new signing Cody Gakpo taking his place in the starting XI.

Late test for Brighton Nunez is a late-fitness test for Saturday's trip to Brighton, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. "If he cannot train today [Friday] then, yes, that would rule him out. We are waiti...

Impact Nunez has missed training all week and his status Saturday is dependent upon a return to training Friday. At this point, he seems more likely to miss out than play, as it's a situation that may be made worse if he pushes it. That being the case, Cody Gakpo seems set for his first league start, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could remain in the front three, as well.

JANUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Reportedly doubt for weekend Nunez is considered a doubt for Saturday's trip to Brighton because of injury, reports Chris Bascombe of the Telegraph.

Impact This comes out of nowhere after Nunez went a full 90 in Liverpool's Cup match against Wolves last week. Jurgen Klopp will hopefully reveal further information in Friday's press conference and for now, it's still believed Nunez will be available against Brighton. If not, Cody Gakpo seems all but guaranteed to start, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could continue in the XI, as well.

Active in win Darwin Nunez had seven shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 2-1 victory versus Leicester City.

Impact Nunez continues to confound fantasy manager and pundits alike. The striker created a plethora of problems for the Leicester back line, including dinking a chip off the post which bounced off Wout Faes into the net. Nunez ends up with the chance for multiple goals nearly every game but poor finishing has held him back from finding that potential.
