The condition of Florian Wirtz is being closely monitored at Liverpool, who will be the guests of Fenerbahçe in Kadıköy on November 4 in the UEFA Champions League. The German footballer could not continue the game after receiving a blow to his ankle during the Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion.
In the match where Liverpool defeated Brighton 2-0 at Anfield, Wirtz remained on the ground after a challenge. The player, who left the game in the 65th minute following intervention by the medical team, was replaced by Trey Nyoni.
The injury agenda at the English club is not limited to Wirtz. The previous injuries of Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong have also been among the issues affecting the technical staff's plans at Liverpool, who are entering a busy fixture schedule.
Liverpool Manager Andoni Iraola stated that Wirtz has a slight sprain in his ankle and that, according to initial assessments, the injury does not appear serious. However, it was noted that the player will be monitored carefully due to the intense match schedule.
It has not yet been clarified whether Wirtz will be able to play in the Fenerbahçe encounter. The checks to be performed by the Liverpool medical team and the report to be released will determine whether the German star will be included in the match squad in Kadıköy.
