Liverpool unsure how long Wirtz will be sidelined

Florian Wirtz had been in good form before his injury

Arne Slot’s side go into the game on the back of a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest last weekend, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring in stoppage time.

‘The Reds are currently in sixth place in the Premier League table, level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea and three behind Manchester United, who are fourth.

FLORIAN WIRTZ

Wirtz is not expected to be available for the clash against West Ham with an injury that kept him out of the win over Nottingham Forest.

Wirtz picked up the problem during the warm-up at the City Ground, and Slot has admitted he does not know how long the playmaker will be on the sidelines for.
