Assists in rout Wirtz assisted once to go with four shots (two on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and eight chances created in Wednesday's 4-0 victory against Galatasaray.

Impact Wirtz added an assist, but perhaps most impressively he had a ridiculous eight chances created to go with it. The numbers haven't been incredible in his first season in England, but the volume is undeniable for Wirtz. As the attack continues to blend together and improve, Wirtz is set to be one of the most prolific playmakers in Europe.

Returns to action in Cup win Wirtz (back) came off the bench and took two shots (one on goal) during Friday's FA Cup victory over Wolverhampton.

Impact Wirtz regained enough health to see a few minutes after missing three league games due to a back issue. The midfielder should be an option going forward, competing with Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones for the No. 10 spot. Despite some ups and downs throughout the season, Wirtz has scored six goals and provided five assists over 34 appearances (28 starts) across all competitions, and he was a consistent starter prior to the injury.

Impact Wirtz has missed the last three matches with back issues and has not been able to train at full speed with the squad recently. The playmaker remains a doubt and will be a late fitness test for Friday's FA Cup clash against Wolves. Even if Wirtz makes the matchday squad, coach Arne Slot suggested he would likely be limited to just a short amount of minutes at best. Until he is fully fit again, Dominik Szoboszlai is expected to take on a larger role in the Reds' attacking midfield.

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.
