NewsArne Slot explains Florian Wirtz absence against Chelsea

The No.7 was not included in the matchday squad for the Premier League fixture at Anfield.

Speaking to TNT Sports pre-match, head coach Slot said: “He tried everything to be in it. But an infection in the stomach.

“He wasn’t feeling well during the week.

“He tried earlier in the week to train, but in the end things got worse and he wasn’t able to train with us yesterday and isn’t able to be with us today.”
