Nunez out of Uruguay squad with injury
Although reports indicate that Nunez's injury is minor, Liverpool and Uruguay prioritize his recovery, and he will take a break over the next two weeks to manage his workload.
It is expected that Nunez will be available when Liverpool host Brighton in the Premier League on March 31, ahead of matches against Sheffield United and Manchester United.
Focus will then shift back to the Europa League, with the first leg of a quarter-final tie against Serie A side Atalanta.
