"Liverpool" has faced an unexpected loss ahead of their next Premier League match against "Nottingham Forest". Florian Wirtz, who joined the team during the summer transfer window and quickly became the engine of the "Reds", was injured during pre-match warm-up.
Idman.Biz reports that the 22-year-old midfielder, who was included in the starting lineup for the match at the "City Ground" stadium, felt pain during warm-up exercises. After a brief conversation with the technical staff, it was decided not to risk him, and Wirtz was replaced by Curtis Jones at the last minute.
Liverpool's head coach, Arne Slot, considered the absence of Wirtz, whom he praised for his successful performance in February, a great loss. The German footballer had been an indispensable figure since the beginning of the year, directly involved in five of the team's last six goals (goal or assist).
