Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed he does not expect to be without midfielder Florian Wirtz for long after the German picked up an injury during the build-up to Sunday’s victory over Nottingham Forest.
Wirtz had been named in Slot’s starting lineup but ended up being replaced by Curtis Jones at the last minute after suffering a back injury in the warm-up. While it was serious enough to force him out of the scrappy 1–0 win, Slot does not expect Wirtz to miss any more action.
