"Tomorrow will probably come too soon and maybe the game at the weekend, as well. Let's see. We hope to have him back next week - maybe earlier, maybe a bit later, but that timescale. That means Wirtz could return for the first leg of the Champions League last 16 at Galatasaray on March 10."
"Wirtz made a slow start following his £116 million arrival from Bayer Leverkusen in June on a five-year deal, failing to produce a goal or assist in his first 12 league appearances. The 22-year-old was in fine form before his injury, recording 10 direct goal involvements in 15 appearances in all competitions."
"Liverpool were expecting many of their goals this season to come from £125m record signing Alexander Isak, but the Sweden striker is recovering from a broken leg. Hugo Ekitike is their leading marksman with 15 goals in all competitions."
Florian Wirtz, Liverpool's £116 million midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen, is a major doubt for the Wolves match on Tuesday due to a back injury sustained during warm-ups at Nottingham Forest. Manager Arne Slot stated the injury will likely keep Wirtz sidelined for Tuesday's match and possibly the weekend fixture, with hopes for his return next week. Wirtz had been performing well before the injury, recording 10 direct goal involvements in 15 appearances after scoring his first goal for the club. His absence impacts Liverpool's attacking options, as striker Alexander Isak recovers from a broken leg, leaving Hugo Ekitike as the leading marksman with 15 goals.
