Summary at a Glance

But Slot, who then left Nunez as an unused substitute for Sunday’s 2-0 victory over Manchester City, has revealed he was also disappointed with the Uruguayan’s display in the win over Wolves and that was a reason why he went public in his dissatisfaction last week.

Arne Slot has added to his criticism of Darwin Nunez by saying it was unacceptable to him that the striker did not work hard enough in each of his last two appearances.

I know him at Villa at home where he made a 100m sprint and scored a goal, I know him when he came on at City at home and was pressing really aggressively and wins the ball back and we score.

"I always try to be honest with my players and be honest as I can to you guys [the media] as well where I always try to protect my players so I don't say he never worked hard.

Slot said that Nunez was hit hard by his miss at Villa but has praised the 25-year-old for his efforts in training this week.
