Wirtz was substituted late in the match after feeling discomfort in his leg.

"Florian Wirtz is fine. He only had a cramp during the match against Tottenham. In a perfect world, I would have given him more rest. But he's okay," Slot said.

Florian Wirtz joined Liverpool this summer from Bayer Leverkusen for €125 million. The young German has made 22 appearances for Liverpool, providing six assists.

Liverpool's next match is on December 27 against Wolverhampton in the 18th round of the Premier League, and it looks like Wirtz will be available to help his team.
