Impact Wirtz is battling back issues and will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. There's no clear timetable on his return, and that's a tough hit for a squad now forced to reshuffle its attacking blueprint. With Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring) shaking off his injury and back in the mix, Dominik Szoboszlai has the tools to drop into the number 10 slot, pull the strings, and dictate the rhythm right through the engine room.

Liverpool player ratings vs Nottingham Forest: Alexis Mac Allister to the rescue! Argentine's late show gets Mohamed Salah and misfiring Reds' attack out of jail in vital victory for Champions League chasers

Late scratch Sunday Wirtz was a late scratch from Sunday's match against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Wirtz was initially in the starting XI for Sunday but was dropped just before kickoff, with Curtis Jones starting in his place. Little information is available at the time, although it appears the midfielder has suffered an injury. The club will likely take him for testing after the outing, hoping their summer signing is only feeling discomfort and can make a return next outing.

Goal, assist in win Wirtz scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 4-1 win against Newcastle United.

Impact Wirtz continues to be very good at football, a slow start encouraged doubters of this transfer, but as he's gotten comfortable Wirtz has been brilliant. He added another two goal contributions and was a consistent threat throughout Saturday's clash. Unsurprisingly he looks to be one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League.
