Liverpool manager Arne Slot gets no joy from Premier League's focus on set pieces

Liverpool manager Arne Slot says he no longer finds most Premier League games a joy to watch with the “new reality” of set-piece goals dominating the competition

Out Tuesday, likely Friday too Wirtz (back) is ruled out for Tuesday's Premier League clash against Wolves and could miss Friday's FA Cup play against them as well, coach Arne Slot said in the press conference....

Impact Wirtz is still battling back issues and will not be available for Tuesday's Premier League clash against Wolves. The creative midfielder is also a major doubt for Friday's FA Cup rematch, with his status hinging on how he responds later in the week. Until he is fully fit, Dominik Szoboszlai is in line to keep his starting spot in the attacking midfield, especially with Jeremie Frimpong back in the fold and Joe Gomez a candidate to slot in at right-back once again.

Impact Wirtz is expected to remain out for Tuesday's clash against Wolverhampton as he has not yet recovered from his back injury, though he could return next week. The German had started the eight matches prior to his setback, scoring three goals and adding one assist during that span, and his absence is a significant blow for his side. Dominik Szoboszlai is likely to continue operating in the No. 10 role behind Ugo Ekitike.

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.
