Slot faces setback as Florian Wirtz to miss West Ham clash due to injury

Liverpool’s head coach admitted that Wirtz’s return is not being considered at the moment.

Details: Ahead of the Premier League matchweek 28 fixture against West Ham, Liverpool’s head coach revealed at the pre-match press conference the latest on the injury to 22-year-old attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz.

According to Slot, the German midfielder will definitely miss tomorrow’s game against West Ham, and there is no timeline for his return:

"At this moment, I don’t know when Florian will be back.

Usually, when I say this, I actually know but don’t want to share. But this time, I genuinely have no idea," Slot admitted.

Florian Wirtz suffered a back injury during the pre-match warm-up ahead of last week’s clash with Nottingham Forest, forcing Arne Slot to make last-minute changes to the starting lineup.

This season, Florian Wirtz has featured in 35 matches for the Reds, scoring 6 goals and providing 8 assists.
