Liverpool have reportedly made a decision on Darwin Nunez after his recent social media activities.
After Liverpool’s convincing 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, Nunez came under criticism again after a disappointing cameo.
The Uruguayan was brought on for Luis Diaz with 15 minutes left to play but failed to make a positive impact.
Nunez missed a late one-on-one and was also flagged offside when he set up Mohamed Salah to score.

On Sunday night, it was spotted that Nunez had deleted all of his Liverpool-related pictures from his Instagram account.
Since then, there have been rumours about whether the 24-year-old’s future at Anfield is in doubt.
However, it has now been claimed that Liverpool are not ready to give up on Nunez yet.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Liverpool are not willing to part ways with the player they brought in two years ago.
The report stated: “There is no indication that Liverpool are in a hurry to give up on Nunez after just two seasons, especially as they would struggle to recoup the mega-fee they paid when signing him from Benfica, which could rise to £85million.”
Speaking in March, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp stated that Nunez has ‘quality coming out of his ears’.
He said: “He had absolutely more than an OK first season but he had to adapt, that's done, and he is settled in the middle of the team.
“He loves to play for this team together with these boys and has quality coming out of his ears, to be honest.”
Klopp added: “Is he at his absolute peak in general? Not now for us. But can he develop? Yes. Is he a threat all the time? Yes.”
This season Nunez has managed 18 goals and 13 assists in 52 appearances across all competitions for Liverpool.
