The Uruguay FA took the case to CAS after the CONMEBOL Court of Appeals opted against reducing the sanctions against players involved in the Copa America fight.
It means that Nunez is free to play while the disciplinary process takes place, with the remaining three games of his ban still hanging over his head.
As such, if a ruling is not decided before the November break, he is likely to be able to feature then as well.
As per El Observador, if the court rules the five-game ban was satisfactory, he will serve the remaining three matches of his sanction. But the AUF is “optimistic” it will be reduced, and he will miss just “one more game.”
In most cases, you do not want to see your senior players subject themselves to possible injuries while on international duty, but Nunez’s lack of game time makes this a valuable opportunity.
He has started just three games so far this season under Arne Slot and, combined with his appearances off the bench, has managed just 307 minutes of action.
