Liverpool will be without star striker Darwin Núñez for their upcoming Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest. The Uruguayan international is suspended after accumulating five yellow cards this season.
Núñez has been a key player for the Reds since his big-money move from Benfica last summer, and his absence will be a significant blow to the team.
With Núñez unavailable, manager Arne Slot faces a selection headache. Italian forward Federico Chiesa is the leading contender to replace the Uruguayan in the starting lineup. Chiesa has impressed since joining the club from Juventus and could be given the opportunity to shine in a more central role.
Other options for Slot include Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota. However, Chiesa's versatility and ability to play in multiple positions make him the most likely candidate to start.
Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their 2-2 draw against Manchester United when they face Forest. The Reds are currently in 1st in the Premier League table.
