Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has divided opinion among Liverpool fans ever since his £64m arrival from Benfica in 2022.
The Uruguayan has shown flashes of quality but has ultimately proved a frustrating figure during his time at the Merseyside club.
Now in his pre-Newcastle press conference Slot has questioned Nunez’s work rate in recent matches.
Slot said: “I wasn’t only hard on him. But for the second time in a row I wasn’t happy with his work effort against Wolves and against Villa.
“I can’t accept if a player doesn’t give everything, that is clear. I can accept it once, but twice was a bit too much. That’s why I addressed it.”
Slot’s comments leave further question marks whether Nunez will remain at Anfield in the summer.
