2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez was one of the most productive defenders in Segunda, and he helped bring Elche back into the top division with two goals and six assists. The full-back loves to get forward and cause issues for defenses, though that will be much harder to do against some of the best teams in the world. While he attacked frequently last season, there's a chance that changes in La Liga as he's asked to do more defensively. At a minimum, he's a full-back who gets forward, which usually provides upside but an unreliable floor.
Suffering from groin injury
M/DCelta Vigo
OUT
February 4, 2026
Nunez is out for the time being due to a groin injury, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Nunez is suffering from a dynamic pubic osteoarthritis and is set to be out for some time on the sidelines due to the groin issue. This comes just after he transferred from Elche, only with the team two days before his injury, leaving a role with the club up in the air for the time being. He could miss up to two months due to his recovery, but it appears to be a better result for the defender, hopefully an option again after a few weeks of training.
