"We don't expect Florian to be available. That's a disappointment, something I didn't expect after last week. Sometimes that's how things can evolve. It's a big accomplishment for him to stay fit for such a long time because he had to stay fit to make the step up but unfortunately he is not available, which is a disappointment for him and for us, because he played really well."
"No. Usually I do but don't want to share it but I honestly don't know. When pressed on the likely duration of his absence regarding Wirtz's recovery timeline, Slot acknowledged uncertainty about the midfielder's return, contrasting with his typical ability to provide injury timelines to the media."
"Jeremie trained with us a few times this week, he is available. Regarding the Dutch international's status, Slot confirmed Frimpong's readiness for selection after completing training sessions following his recovery from a groin injury sustained in late January."
Liverpool faces uncertainty regarding attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz's availability for the West Ham match. Wirtz was forced to withdraw before Liverpool's Nottingham Forest victory due to a back complaint. Manager Arne Slot initially expected a brief absence but revised his assessment, stating Wirtz will not be available for the upcoming fixture with no clear indication of his return date. Slot expressed disappointment at the unexpected development, noting Wirtz had maintained fitness for an extended period. Positively, Dutch international Jeremie Frimpong is available after recovering from a groin injury sustained during a Champions League match on January 28.
