Florian Wirtz did not appear in the Liverpool squad for the Premier League match against Chelsea. Head coach Arne Slot announced that the German midfielder was left out of the matchday squad due to a stomach infection, as reported by Goal.com .
According to Arne Slot, the 23-year-old midfielder felt unwell throughout the week and could not participate fully in training. Although the player tried to recover by matchday, his condition worsened, forcing the coaching staff to exclude him from the squad.
Due to Wirtz's absence, Arne Slot had to make changes to his attacking line. The manager decided to deploy Dominik Szoboszlai, Rio Ngumoha, and Jeremie Frimpong behind Cody Gakpo. Wirtz, who has scored 17 goals in 47 matches this season, is one of the team's key playmakers.
Liverpool fans are hoping for the player's quick return to action. As the team fights for a Champions League spot, this health issue for Wirtz is expected to be short-term.
