Nunez is currently focused on Uruguay’s campaign this summer as he prepares to return to Liverpool under the management of new boss Arne Slot.
In his recent performance for Uruguay, the 24-year-old impressed by scoring a hat-trick in a 4-0 friendly win over Mexico.
However, the match was marred by fan trouble and had to be ended early.
This achievement extends his streak of scoring in each of his past five international matches, totaling eight goals during this period.
For Liverpool last season, Nunez contributed significantly with 31 goal involvements, including 18 goals.
Despite this, he started only one of the team’s final seven league games.
His form dipped towards the end of the season, failing to score or assist in those last seven outings and managing just one goal for the Reds from April onwards.
As Nunez joins the Uruguayan national team for the Copa America, he will be eager to make a strong impression and secure his place in Arne Slot’s starting lineup.
This tournament presents an opportunity for Nunez to reaffirm his capabilities on the international stage.
Although he missed the 2021 Copa America due to a knee injury, Nunez featured in all three games as Uruguay exited the 2022 World Cup at the group stage.
With 11 goals in 23 caps for his country, Nunez remains a key player in Uruguay’s squad.
