Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann has declared he will 'show no leniency' towards Liverpool star Florian Wirtz and won't rest him during the international break.

He was withdrawn in the Community Shield against Crystal Palace as well as the opening two Premier League encounters versus Bournemouth and Newcastle United.

The 22-year-old appeared poised to complete his maiden full 90 minutes during the 1-0 home victory over Arsenal, yet had to be taken off in the 89th minute as he hobbled away with assistance from the club's medical staff.

It was a welcome to the Premier League.

That's what happened.

"That is welcome to the Premier League, welcome to this intensity against an Arsenal side who can play very intense as well."

Wirtz has now linked up with the German national squad for the September international window and, despite his demanding introduction to life at his new club, his boss Nagelsmann intends to utilize his key player to the maximum.

"New culture, new league, new stadium – that's completely normal."

The 38 year old concluded with the prediction: "He will have great games, score great goals, and set up great goals [for Liverpool]."

All Slot can hope is that his summer signing returns with a clean bill of health.

Wirtz and Germany have a second World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland scheduled for Sunday, September 7.
