Arne Slot has doubled down on his criticism of Darwin Nunez, insisting that the striker's work rate has not been acceptable in his last two appearances.
The Dutchman singled out the Uruguayan after the Reds' 2-2 draw against Aston Villa last week, when he missed an open goal late in the match.
Nunez, who has failed to live up to his £85million price tag and has fallen further down the pecking order since Slot's arrival this term, was an unused substitute during Liverpool's win over Manchester City on Sunday.
