Liverpool are worried about the fitness of Florian Wirtz after the midfielder suffered an ankle injury during their 2-0 victory against Brighton.
The German international twisted his ankle and had to leave the field early. His participation in the upcoming clashes with Chelsea and Arsenal is now in doubt.
Manager Andoni Iraola has assessed the situation.
It doesn’t look too serious, but we’re playing every three days, so we need to see how he feels.
Wirtz himself has sought to allay fears about the injury in an interview with Sky.
I don’t think it’s too serious.
The midfielder admitted that he has rolled his ankle a few times in recent weeks and needs to address this issue.
In the match against Brighton, Wirtz’s strike led to a comical own goal from Pascal Gross, before Alexander Isak sealed Liverpool’s win.
This season, Florian Wirtz has scored one goal and provided three assists in 11 appearances across all competitions.
