🚨 SHOCKING NEWS: Horrible news has been announced for Liverpool before the Nottingham Forest match.

Arne Slot is set to face Nottingham Forest this week but will have to do so without two key players, as he revealed during his press conference. The Dutch coach provided updates on Joe Gomez’s recovery, stating: “He’s still quite far from returning. He’s not training with the team yet, and Darwin is suspended. So those are the two players we’ll be without tomorrow.”

Gomez, who has been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring injury against West Ham, is expected to remain out for an extended period. Following the match, the defender confirmed the nature of the injury, and given the head coach’s careful approach to player fitness, it may be months before the No. 2 returns to action.

The 27-year-old’s injury struggles have been a source of frustration for both him and the team, but with Ibrahima Konaté nearing full fitness, Liverpool have a solid defensive option ready to step in at the City Ground.

Meanwhile, Darwin Núñez’s suspension has left his manager in a difficult position. The ban, following two cup games against Tottenham and Accrington Stanley, temporarily limits the Uruguayan’s opportunities to impress. The striker’s recent performances have sparked mixed reactions, with some, including Robbie Fowler, questioning his future at the club.

The absence of Gomez and Núñez presents challenges for Liverpool, but the team will look to make adjustments as they aim for a strong performance against Nottingham Forest.
