Darwin Nunez’s absence for Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest explained.

Darwin Nunez missed out from Liverpool’s squad for the seismic Premier League encounter against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground,

Slot has almost a full complement of players to select from. Joe Gomez remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. And there is no Nunez for the Reds after he played 90 minutes in a 4-0 win over Accrington Stanley in the FA Cup last weekend.

Nunez has been forced to serve a one-match suspension after picking up five yellow cards in Liverpool’s opening 19 Premier League games. The Uruguay international scored the dramatic 99th-minute winner in the Reds’ 1-0 win at Forest last term.
