Florian Wirtz taken out of Liverpool team after warmup ahead of match at Nottingham Forest

NOTTINGHAM, England (AP) — Germany midfielder Florian Wirtz was withdrawn from Liverpool's lineup for the Premier League match at Nottingham Forest on Sunday after apparently injuring himself in the warmup.

Curtis Jones replaced Wirtz in the team at the City Ground. The exact nature of Wirtz's issue was not immediately disclosed by Liverpool.

Wirtz has been in good form for Liverpool in recent weeks after a tough start to his first season at the club following an offseason move from Bayer Leverkusen.
