Liverpool's previous record signing Florian Wirtz was subbed off late in last weekend's 1-0 win over Arsenal at Anfield, having previously been switched out much earlier in his first three competitive appearances for the club.
"It wasn’t an injury.

Ibrahima Konate was replaced 11 minutes before time against Arsenal.
"He thinks it’s cramp and I have no reason to doubt him although sometimes players talk about cramp and then we make a scan and it’s more than that,” Slot assessed.

Jeremie Frimpong was replaced 60 minutes into his Premier League debut against Bournemouth.
