Liverpool's Wirtz injured, concern ahead of Fenerbahçe match

Liverpool has an injury concern. In the 2-0 defeat of Brighton & Hove Albion in Matchweek 8 of the Premier League, Florian Wirtz took a knock to his ankle. The German player tried to continue for a while but had to come off in the 65th minute. He was replaced by 19-year-old Trey Nyoni.

Speaking after the match, head coach Andoni Iraola said Wirtz has a mild ankle sprain. The Spanish coach said the initial findings do not point to a serious injury. Iraola added that the team is playing a match every three days and the situation will be monitored closely.

Liverpool's medical staff will examine Wirtz. His availability for the next matches will become clear after these assessments.

Attention now turns to the UEFA Champions League match at Kadıköy on Wednesday, 4 November, against Fenerbahçe. For Liverpool, the question is whether the 23-year-old will be fit for that game.
