Liverpool star Darwin Nunez has pulled out of the Uruguay squad ahead of their two international friendlies set to take place later this month due to ‘physical issues’.
Nunez is said to have picked up a hamstring injury during Liverpool’s 4-3 defeat to Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday afternoon.
The striker, who was criticised for his poor defending ahead of United’s fourth and final goal – played the full 120 minutes and appeared to walk off the pitch without any issues.
However, the 24-year-old has now been removed from the Uruguay squad – although reports are stating it is more of a precautionary measure rather than a serious injury injury.
Nunez is not the only player to have been pulled from international duty as a precaution. Gabriel Magalhaes’ withdrawal from the Brazil squad for their upcoming friendlies against England and Spain.
