Liverpool's squad will face a setback this weekend as midfielder Florian Wirtz is set to miss the clash against West Ham due to ongoing back issues. Manager Arne Slot confirmed the absence and admitted there is currently no timeline for Wirtz's return, marking a significant blow to the team's lineup.
Wirtz was previously pulled from the match against Nottingham Forest after experiencing discomfort during warm-up, raising concerns about his fitness. Despite Slot's earlier predictions that the injury was not serious, the midfielder's continuous absence has become a source of frustration and uncertainty for Liverpool fans.
In brighter news for Liverpool, Netherlands right-back Jeremie Frimpong has resumed training and is expected to be available for the upcoming game. Frimpong's return is a welcome development following his recovery from a muscle injury that sidelined him for the past month.
