However, after the arrival of Karim Benzema earlier this month, Nunez has seen his future with Al-Hilal cast into speculation. ‌As a result of a strict foreign player quota and Benzema's registration, Nunez is now unable to play Pro League or Cup football for his current club. As a result, he now faces a lengthy period on the sidelines, forecasted to return in April at the earliest. As it stands, the Red sit sixth in the Premier League standings with 11 matches remaining with 45 points alongside fourth-place Chelsea and Manchester United in fifth.
