“We don’t think it’s very serious, but he felt his back too much during the warm-up to start,” Slot said. I think after being in this league for six, seven or eight months he understands that no matter how good you are on the ball, you need to be 100 percent at this level, so we decided not to play him.

But yeah, you never know how things work out.” Influence of Florian Wirtz at Liverpool is already clear As mentioned, Liverpool were lifeless for much of the Forest game, with the Premier League champions sorely missing Wirtz’s creativity in the final third. After a slow first few months at Anfield, his influence has grown enormously, so having him back for the West Ham game will be a massive plus.

If the Reds are to have any chance of winning the Champions League this season, they will need Wirtz to be at his very best, and he is a joy to watch when in full flow. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
