However, as per <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/sport/football/article/darwin-nunez-uruguay-return-five-game-ban-temporarily-lifted-3lpdz653c" target="_blank"><em>The Times</em></a>, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has temporarily revoked the suspension, which means that Nunez can appear for his national team in their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifying matches. The striker was named in Marcelo Bielsa's 29-man Uruguay squad on Monday.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="es" dir="ltr">📋 𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗔 𝗗𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗩𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗦<br><br>Estos son los citados Marcelo Bielsa para los partidos con Perú y Ecuador por Eliminatorias. <br><br>📺 <a href="https://t.co/qVMBrYKoRh">https://t.co/qVMBrYKoRh</a> <br>🎟️ <a href="https://t.co/vqqqTqtlNO">https://t.co/vqqqTqtlNO</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ElEquipoQueNosUne?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ElEquipoQueNosUne</a> <a href="https://t.co/Iy1B4WKxSO">pic.twitter.com/Iy1B4WKxSO</a></p>— Selección Uruguaya (@Uruguay) <a href="https://twitter.com/Uruguay/status/1843341979834560977?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Nunez has impressed for his national team in recent times, he has struggled for consistency in club football. Liverpool will now hope that the striker will get some much-needed game time in World Cup qualifiers which will help him to pick up his form. The Merseyside club were looking to conduct a behind-closed-doors friendly match especially for the Uruguayan during the international break, but head coach Arne Slot can cancel those plans after CAS's verdict.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Along with the Liverpool forward, Manchester United's Manuel Ugarte and former Red Devils star Facundo Pellistri have also been named in the squad by Bielsa, alongside Real Madrid star Federico Valverde.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The 25-year-old former Benfica star will next be seen in action on Saturday as Bielsa's men take on Peru. Uruguay will then turn their attention to a second World Cup qualifying clash against Ecuador on October 16.</p>
