Now Arne Slot has provided his latest, speaking in his pre-West Ham press conference has revealed that Wirtz is out for the game – while Jeremie Frimpong will return vs West Ham: “Jeremie is OK, trained with us and is available, don’t expect Florian to be, which is a disappointment, every time my player isn’t available is disappointment and I didn’t expect,” Slot said.
