It comes after Arne Slot received a boost with the return of Jeremie Frimpong, with the Dutchman instrumental in his cameo against Nuno Espirito Santos' side, forcing an own goal to secure a 5-2 win.READ MORE: Arne Slot offers verdict on Champions League race after major Liverpool boostREAD MORE: Arne Slot welcomes Jeremie Frimpong 'problem' after Liverpool injury return"The game probably comes too soon tomorrow and maybe the game at the weekend," Slot said about Wirtz.

Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni continue to be ruled out with long-term issues.With Bradley out and limited options at right-back, Slot said he will continue to manage the minutes of both Frimpong and Joe Gomez, who has also suffered with injury problems this season."Having Jeremie back is nice, but we have three games in seven days, and you have to take that into account, especially when players come back from injuries," Slot said."We know the importance of every game. “It’s not unusual that we play three games in seven days for us," said the Dutchman.“Does it bring a challenge?

Maybe for the second game a little bit more because then you know even better what to expect, but that I also like mainly."I also like [it] in the Champions League because the first time you play each other, mainly in the Champions League you don’t play each other that much, so it’s a bit new, but the second time you can prepare your team even better."Especially if the team you face does the same again. But now, being in the Premier League, we played them [Wolves] already once [and] you see a lot of games of them because they play against teams that we are facing as well."You know each other that well that I don’t see that much difference between playing each other twice in three days or that there’s a longer period in between."
