Three shots in loss Wirtz recorded three shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 loss versus Arsenal.

Impact Wirtz took three shots but failed to put any of them on goal during Sunday's loss. It was a tough match for Liverpool as a whole. They couldn't get anything going against Arsenal's backline and struggled for any sort of control of the match. Wirtz and co. aren't going to have many matches tougher than this one, so they should have the chance to bounce back before the international break.

Involved in Wednesday's match Wirtz (ankle) featured as a substitute in Wednesday's penalty shootout win over Chelsea in EFL Cup action.

Impact Wirtz had a little over half an hour on the field against Chelsea and missed his lone chance during regular time before converting his shootout penalty kick. The attacker's return from a minor injury is great news for Liverpool after he had finally started to build momentum, scoring one goal and two assists over a span of three games in October. He has kept a significant role despite his slow start to the season and could now offer shooting and playmaking upside as long as he stays fit. His potential inclusion in the initial lineup would limit Trey Nyoni and Lewis Koumas to bench spots in league play.

Impact Wirtz appears to have avoided a significant injury setback after twisting his ankle during Sunday's victory against Brighton, which forced him off in the 65th minute. The German midfielder initially raised concerns about his availability for Liverpool's upcoming fixtures, particularly given the club's congested schedule, but coach Iraola has now provided an encouraging update regarding his recovery. The coach indicated that Wirtz was feeling relatively comfortable following the match and remained optimistic about featuring in Wednesday's Carabao Cup encounter against Chelsea. Although his participation has not been definitively confirmed, the latest assessment suggests the injury is unlikely to require an extended absence. Wirtz has registered two assists and created 22 chances across eight Premier League appearances this season, establishing himself as an important creative presence in Liverpool's midfield. His expected availability would provide coach Iraola with another attacking option ahead of Wednesday's cup fixture, although his workload could still be managed to avoid aggravating the ankle issue.

Impact Wirtz has had a rough start to the season but he was truly impressive against LASK.

Impact Wirtz struggled to get involved during Sunday's clash. His volume was nice but he just couldn't find the last pass to get involved. Some of that was the lack of a senior team striker, but at other times, Wirtz looked off the pace. He will hope to bounce back during a busy period with mid-week clashes.
