After Norwich’s Marcelino Nunez fell to Leeds United in the Championship play-offs and then had to play against the likes of Lionel Messi, Alexis Mac Allister, and Alphonso Davies at the Copa America, one might understand his need for a break.
The World Cup champions Argentina, Canada, and Peru were in the same group as the Chilean midfielder when he represented his country at the Copa America.
Unfortunately for the 24-year-old, following goalless draws with Peru and Canada and a 1-0 loss to Argentina, his side was unable to advance out of the group.
Nunez has made 81 appearances in the Canaries’ engine room since joining from Universidad Catolica two years ago, and with a contract that extends through the summer of 2026, expect to see him at Carrow Road once more this season.
