The Liverpool forward has only scored seven goals in 40 games across all competitions this season, including just one in his last 13 appearances.
Nunez is underperforming his 10.55 xG, while he boasts a modest 11.11% shot conversion rate.
The Uruguay international's struggles continued as he saw a penalty saved in the shootout that saw the Reds exit the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
