Key Absences for Liverpool Against Forest

Liverpool will face Nottingham Forest with two significant absences: Darwin Núñez, due to suspension, and Joe Gomez, due to injury.

Darwin Núñez's Suspension:

Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez will miss the match due to a one-match suspension in the Premier League. This sanction is due to the accumulation of five yellow cards in the first 19 games of the season. His absence represents a significant loss in Liverpool's attack, as Núñez has been an important player in the team's setup.

Joe Gomez's Injury:

Meanwhile, defender Joe Gomez continues to recover from a hamstring injury he suffered last month during the match against West Ham United. Gomez has not yet returned to training with the rest of the squad, so his presence against Nottingham Forest is ruled out. His absence weakens Liverpool's defensive line, especially considering he has also been playing at right-back.

Impact on the Team:

The absence of Núñez and Gomez forces manager Arne Slot to make changes to the starting eleven. In attack, Núñez's absence could open the door for other players such as Cody Gakpo or Diogo Jota. In defence, Gomez's injury could create the need to readjust the defensive line, possibly with the inclusion of other players such as Joel Matip or Ibrahima Konaté, depending on their fitness and the manager's strategy.

In summary:

Darwin Núñez will miss the match against Nottingham Forest due to suspension (accumulation of five yellow cards).

Joe Gomez remains injured and will also be unavailable.
