NewsFlorian Wirtz injury latest

The No.7 missed the Reds’ wins over Nottingham Forest and West Ham United due to a back issue.

And he is likely to continue to be absent as Slot’s men travel to Wolves in the Premier League on Tuesday and the Emirates FA Cup on Friday.

“Not anything different than what I said after the game [on Saturday],” the head coach said when asked about Wirtz at his pre-match press conference on Monday morning.

“The game tomorrow will probably come too soon and maybe the game at the weekend as well. Let’s see how that ends up.

“But we hope to have him back somewhere next week. Maybe earlier. Maybe a bit later. But that timescale.”
